LOS ANGELES – An alleged drunk driver accused of causing a traffic collision in Vernon that killed three people is due to be arraigned this afternoon. Isaac Bandt, 31 (dob 11/8/79), is charged with three counts of murder and one count each of DUI causing injury, driving with a .08% blood alcohol causing injury and leaving the scene of an accident. The complaint further alleges that the defendant drove at excessive speed.

The defendant is expected to be arraigned this afternoon in Department 5 of East Los Angeles Superior Court. He is charged in case No. VA117856. On the evening of Dec. 11, the defendant, who was driving a pickup truck, allegedly ran several red lights before t-boning a compact vehicle containing two women, a man and a child.

Immediately following the collision, Bandt allegedly ran from the scene. Law enforcement officers found the defendant several blocks away, prosecutors said. The only person who survived the crash was a 6-year-old boy. Those killed in the collision were identified as the boy’s mother, her boyfriend and the boy’s grandmother. Bail for Bandt is recommended at $3.1 million.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
