Ray Cortopassi is a jerk. No, I've never met the anchor for Indianapolis' Fox59 Morning News and have seen nothing of him except the below clip, but judging solely from that, he is a jerk. A hilarious, hilarious jerk. In the clip in question, Cortopassi uses a giant tarantula from a segment to sadistically torture poor Jim O'Brien while he's trying to give his weather report. The arachnophobic weather man eventually makes a bee-line straight for the studio door leaving anchorwoman Angela Ganote to attempt to finish the segment. This lasts for a few seconds until Cortopassi starts scaring her.

The pair had been driving along a road in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania following a night out. A photo reportedly posted online hours before the tragedy showed Dunn and two pals sipping drinks in a bar, sparking speculation alcohol may have been a factor in the fatal crash.

But Jim O'Brien, who runs a bar in nearby West Chester where Dunn allegedly spent part of Sunday evening, is adamant the star only had "a couple" of bottles of beer.

O'Brien tells the New York Daily News, "I wouldn't call it partying. Ryan wasn't one of the wild guys you would see on Jackass. He never really got drunk here. He was always just quiet and did his own thing... We would have stopped him if he had too many drinks. What happened was a tragic accident."...
