Looks like this was what we call here in Isla Vista an “oot” which stands for out of towner. This past weekend there were quite a few parties, lots of oots roaming around, this clown was most likely 1 of them.
I hope they throw the book at this idiot, doing doughnuts and stuff on a nature preserve, deserves the worst the law can throw his way.
