Charges were dropped against a man accused of hurting two women in a horrific road-rage attack after Oregon prosecutors found too many holes in the victims’ stories — and that they had a history of apparently faking injuries in other vehicular incidents.

Jay Allen Barbeau, 49, was arrested June 1 after Megan Stackhouse, 34, and her fiancée, Lucinda Mann, 26, told officers in Bend that he attacked them after their Kia Soul cut him off in traffic. Stackhouse had claimed that she pulled over to let Barbeau pass them, but the imposing, 5-foot-8, 245-pound man instead smashed their rear window before breaking Stackhouse’s arm and knocking Mann unconscious.

But Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel said most of the allegations could not be proved — and that Barbeau’s 11-day stint in jail and the “national ridicule he endured for the road-rage attack was a just punishment.

“I have no confidence in the credibility of Mann and Stackhouse,” Hummel said in a statement. “Mann’s claimed injuries in the Barbeau case were debunked by the medical records. While Stackhouse did suffer a broken bone in her wrist, there are competing claims as to how her injury occurred and based on her lack of credibility, I cannot stand by her version of events.”

Here’s what is clear, according to Hummel: Stackhouse, who was leaving a carnival with Mann, pulled her car in front of Barbeau’s in a “dangerous manner,” he said. Barbeau then started aggressively following Stackhouse for more than a mile, eventually exiting his car and punching Stackhouse’s rear window, shattering it, Hummel said.

Mann got out of her car and “quickly went to the ground,” according to Hummel’s statement.

“Mann said she was thrown to the ground by Barbeau and suffered serious injury,” Hummel said. “Medical records contradict her claim.”

Stackhouse claimed Barbeau also grabbed her right arm and twisted it until it snapped — which Barbeau denies.

“Barbeau’s wife says Stackhouse slammed her own arm on Barbeau’s truck,” Hummel’s statement continued. “When the police arrived, Stackhouse was on the running board of Barbeau’s truck.”

Hummel said a basic background check into Mann and Stackhouse revealed “significant and troubling” results, including an incident in which Mann was accused of intentionally throwing herself onto the hood of a car in the road and then flopping to the ground on June 7, just days after the incident with Barbeau.

Stackhouse is also facing assault charges after striking another car and then punching the driver on May 13. That case is still pending, Hummel said.

Stackhouse and Mann also reported to police in November 2017 that Mann was struck by a van while she was walking in a parking lot. A year earlier, Mann and Stackhouse were passengers in a car involved in a single-vehicle, low-speed crash on Halloween. Responding officers found Mann in the roadway acting unconscious and having difficulty breathing. Investigators determined Mann’s actions were inconsistent with injuries she would have sustained in the crash, Hummel said.

Casey Baxter, Barbeau’s attorney, said his client shattered Stackhouse’s window after her Kia hopped a curb and nearly struck his pickup truck. The women also gave Barbeau and his wife the finger repeatedly, Baxter said.

“He really never once struck any of those women,” Baxter told The Oregonian. “The entire event was a terrible lie that turned into international condemnation.”

Barbeau, meanwhile, said he holds no ill will toward the women following his release from jail.

“I don’t have any anger towards them,” Barbeau told KTVZ. “I’m upset they did what they did. I’m upset that the whole thing happened the way that it did. I hope that we can clear everything up, as far as my reputation and everything else going forward. I just hope that never happens to anybody else.”

Barbeau continued: “If I could back flip, I’d do it right now.”
