Vt. police: Farmer angry about arrest used tractor like monster truck, destroyed 7 cruisers

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Working in a stout former bank building with windows closed and air conditioners humming, Orleans County sheriff’s deputies didn’t know what was happening in their parking lot until a neighbor called 911.

A man on a big farm tractor, angry about his recent arrest for resisting arrest and marijuana possession, was rolling across their vehicles — five marked cruisers, one unmarked car and a transport van.

With their vehicles crushed, “We had nothing to pursue him with,” said Chief Deputy Philip Brooks.

Thursday afternoon’s incident ended when city police in Newport, the county seat of the northern Vermont county, caught up with Roger Pion, 34, a short distance away

Martin estimated damage to the vehicles at more than $300,000. Not only were their roofs and hoods caved in, “the radios are ruined, the radar detectors, the cages in the cars ... We’re going to have to get the jaws of life up here to pry the trunks open and see about the rifles and shotguns,” Martin said.

Brooks said the vehicles destroyed constituted more than half the fleet of sheriff’s cruisers in the rural county on the Canadian border. Others were out on patrol at the time of the incident.

7 cruisers equals 300,000? Give me a break.

[Redbeard]

Hahaha! I'd laugh my ass off if I came outside the office and saw this. I'd probably clap.

That's only 43,000.00 a piece. I'd believe they cost that.

mmmm nope

With all the electronics and aftermarket add ons? $43,000.00 isn't that much for a vehicle these days. Here's a charger that's a little souped up. Top of the line was 42,000.00. This is an R/T, 32,000.00.

the myth of "souped up" patrol vehicles is just that, a myth.

Now unless I'm way off base and prices have jumped substantially, last I heard is we were gettin the crown vic's in the low 20's and adding 3-5 in electronics and gear

[assateague]

You mean to tell me there were only those 7 vehicles in the entire town? Nobody drove themselves to work?

Your probably about right. I'll bet it depends on the town or county. I'm sure some spend more than others. Our state boys have Mustangs, Camaros and Chargers. Bastards. Seen a few county boys in Tahoes. Those aint cheap.

I heard either in the article or on the news that that was half their fleet. The other half were out on patrol.

[assateague]

Can't they go get in their own personal vehicle? Or is that against union regs?

[Goldfish]

It's a tractor. The could have taken the park patrol bicycles.

[Bootlipkiller]

I'll pay that farmer to come run over mine. POS

[DeadEye_Dan]

Most of the new stuff is capable of 30+mph

[capt1972]

A pic of the tractor

[OGblackcloud]

Looks like that would do it.
