Billboards offer $100K for Stow assault suspects

LOS ANGELES — An outdoor advertising company has donated hundreds of billboards for use in catching the two men who savagely beat paramedic Bryan Stow after a Dodgers game on March 31.

The billboards, donated by Lamar Advertising, feature sketches of the suspects and a $100,000 reward for information leading to their arrest. They will be deployed throughout the Los Angeles area.

“I think it’s a great thing that this company’s doing this,” LAPD detective P.J. Morris told the Santa Cruz Sentinel, adding that representatives for Lamar had reached out last week to police about the possibility of putting up the billboards.

Erin Collins, Stow’s sister, told KNX 1070 that Stow’s condition is “progressing.” Stow remains in critical condition, though he has recently made steps toward recovery.

According to CBS 2 Los Angeles, Lamar advertising VP Ray Baker says there will be 200 billboards posted Thursday, with an additional 100 going up Monday.
