Vigilante Mom Realizes She Ran Over the Wrong Person

In January 2022, a man named Geronimo stopped at a Winco in Idaho Falls to pick up something his wife had asked for. He left the store with two broken feet, required surgery, and needed a wheelchair ramp installed at his home. The woman who ran him over in the parking lot had mistaken him for someone else entirely—a man named Peter Medina, whom she believed had harmed her daughter. The police interview that follows captures the moment she learns she hit the wrong person.

The Interview Unfolds

Detective Randy begins the conversation with Brandy Morgan at her workplace, telling her he knows her vehicle was used to run someone over and that she was the driver. Brandy initially plays ignorant, then invokes her right to remain silent. But the detective keeps pressing, not for an admission—he already has the car on camera and multiple witnesses—but for the backstory. "I understand there's more to the story on the backside of that, the reasoning too and why," he says. "And that's what I'm kind of interested in right now."
