The LAPD Believes Disney Star Hicks Is The Gunman and Girlfriend Drove Getaway Car
The LA Times says that most recently, Disney star Adam Hicks, alleged to be the gunman, has made an appearance in the HULU series, Freakish, and girlfriend Danni Tamburo, who has some minor credits on IMDB, was serving as the getaway driver.
LAPD Sgt. Derek Green said that Disney star Adam Hicks and Danni Tamburo started their alleged crime spree at around five in the morning, demanding the wallet of a man. The getaway car was a green KIA, which was traced to Tamburo’s mother, who told the police that the car could be located in a nearby apartment complex.
Inside the vehicle, Sgt. Green said they found stolen property.
“They basically dumped the car and tossed some of the property in the area. Literally tossing it.”
After interviewing Tamburo’s mother, police got a warrant and a SWAT team and headed to the home where Disney star Adam Hicks and girlfriend Danni Tamburo were living. Both Adam Hicks and Tamburo were arrested at the scene.
“Two guns and more stolen property were found.”
