A Guy Just Drove A Tractor Over Seven Cop Cars In Vermont

A Vermont resident just took to a farm tractor and ran over seven police cruisers. We spoke to police and they currently have "no idea why" this happened.


And yeah, seven cars.


It sounds like the suspect drove his farm tractor over vehicles from the Orleans Country Sheriff's Department and Newport City Police Department. He then kept going down the road until he stopped near a bank. For some reason he then got out and continued on foot (http://www.wcax.com/story/19180748/man-on-tractor-crushes-vt-police-cruisers).


He was caught and is now in custody. We've reached out to the Newport Sheriff's office and are awaiting further comment. As of right now, they're as confused as we are, though probably less amused.
UPDATE: Police are saying that the man involved, 34-year old Roger Pion, committed the act because he was "upset over a recent arrest." Yep, that sounds about right.

I think he was referring to the incident many years ago in San Diego. Some guy stole a tank and went rampaging down the interstate.

Somewhere in Cali, guy stole it from a National Guard armory or depot, ended up high-centered on the center divider & got shot in the head by the cops.

Admit it, if you were pissed at the man and didn't have much to lose, you'd grab some heavy machinery and go on a rampage too.

The guy in Granby gets extra style points though, he armor plated the thing first.

When did this happen?

[Ghosty]

To bad this clown didn't get shot, then sell all his assets to pay for the cars. Until then, lock his psycho ass up.

I think he gets points for killing -0- people (not counting his suicide) in his rampage too. So, yeah, good on him...wonder if you can buy Killdozer like you can Capone's car?

As to the tank:

To bad this clown didn't get shot in the face, then sell all his assets to pay for the cars. Until then, lock his psycho ass up.

Meh, I think driving over a bunch of cop cars in a tractor could be seen as an expression of Free Speech, and thus he should be free to go...

[longrider]

When did this happen?

This happened back in 2004. I did not get a chance to go through Granby until most of it had been fixed but you could still see evidence a couple years later

Alma rampage – April 1998 – Colorado Central Magazine
Rampage devastates Alma
The same week that Park County recalled its commissioners, one of its towns suffered from an incredible rampage.
Alma, with about 200 residents, sits a few miles up Hoosier Pass from Fairplay. On the evening of Feb. 26, its former mayor, Willie Morrison, was killed in the town hall as he conducted an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
And that is just the start of the charges against accused shooter Thomas Dean Leask, a 50-year-old roustabout and an Alma native.
Witnesses said that Leask, after the shooting, tossed two molotov cocktails into the town hall. Then he went outside, started the town’s front-end loader, and went on a rampage, crashing the machine through several buildings before setting his family home afire.
“He basically wiped out the government here,” said Don Anthony of the Park County Sheriff’s Department. “He took out the town hall, the fire station, the post office, the water-treatment plant. He took out the phones and partial electricity.”
After the rampage, Leask fled on foot into the woods with a rifle and handgun. Deputies surrounded him and persuaded him to surrender.
Although much damage to town facilities was covered by insurance, some was not, and if you’d like to donate to help repair Colorado’s highest incorporated town, send money to the Alma Foundation, P.O. Box 1050, Alma CO 80420.
Alma’s claim to fame used to be that, at 10,355 feet, it was the highest incorporated town in the United States. Leadville, at 10,152, is the highest incorporated city — Colorado law requires at least 2,000 residents before a town can gain city status.
But when Alma made the national news in February, the story had nothing to do with elevation, alas.

I'm thinking the District Court will find Probable Cause to believe the acts meet the elements required to satisfy felony Criminal Mischief. Just saying :)

I thought the First Rule was not to talk about CSC?

[Aaron]

I never learned that rule. Shit. Do I have to get killed now?

[Ghost]

I can't answer that, it's against the rules.










But, yes.
