Legging It

Jersey City, New Jersey, October 26, 2016:

After leaving the Royale With Sleeze strip club on East Badaboom Drive, the leader of the Ronatarian Party fell out of his car while it was moving...and it ran over his leg, the New Jersey State Police said.

The incident was reported to NJSP at about 2:41 a.m. Tuesday.

NJSP said witnesses told them Ron did not appear to be intoxicated as he was leaving the club.

Witnesses said Ron and his cohorts were discussing fiscal policy late into the night while flicking wadded-up dollar bills at the dancers. Early in the morning, high on political empowerment, he got into his famed Camaro and started it up.

Troopers said Ron fell out of the Camaro as he tried to drive away and the car ran over his leg.

The car then rolled down the street, hit a ditch, and crashed into a home on Lafayette Highway, officials said.

A woman was sleeping in the room where the car came to a stop, and her son Adam Lara said it was a miracle she survived.

"It felt like a bomb exploding," said Lara. "My mom sleeps right there next to the window. She would've been dead if that ditch wasn't there."

The impact knocked her out of bed, and Lara said she has a strained neck.

"One of the security guards came running and my mom opened the door. They asked her, 'Are you OK?'" said Lara.

Barbara Trujillo, 58, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the NJSP said.

"I'm really angry because he could've killed my mom. Plus his politics are abhorrent," said Lara.

Ron retorted that Lara's claims were "bogus" and that his "coffers [are] full enough to cover the expenses."

Authorities said party founder and talisman Ron is well known at the strip club. His leg appears to be fine and Ron says he'll "be good as new by the weekend. Then it's back to the club!"

Damages to the Camaro are modest and Ron assured those within earshot that his "baby would be purring again real soon."

NJSP said charges are not pending, as Ron has owned up to the accident and has offered restitution to the woman.
