Farmer Crushes 7 Police Cars With Tractor

Police in Vermont in hot pursuit of a suspect were without wheels when their quarry, an irate farmer with a tractor, allegedly crushed nearly half the department’s fleet of vehicles.

Orleans County police say 34-year-old Roger Pion, of Newport, Vt., drove a red tractor over seven vehicles in the parking lot of the county’s Sheriff’s Department Thursday afternoon, flattening their quest to apprehend the suspect.

Police inside the department’s office were unaware of the destruction happening outside until they received a 911 call and heard a horn blaring outside, Chief Deputy Philip Brooks told the Burlington Free Press.
Left with no cars, Brooks had to run to a nearby service station where another car was being worked on to try to catch Pion.
“We had nothing to pursue him with,” Brooks told the paper. “It’s more than half our fleet. We have 11 cars.”

Pion was caught by authorities from the rural city’s police department about one mile from the Sheriff’s office and arrested on 11 charges. He is being held at the Northern State Correctional Center in Newport on $15,000 bail.
He is expected in court today to face seven counts of felony unlawful mischief, one misdemeanor count of unlawful mischief on suspicion of damaging the cars, one charge of leaving the scene of an accident, one count of grossly negligent operation and aggravated assault on Newport City police after he allegedly tried to back the tractor into a city cruiser while being pursued.

Police say that Pion had been arrested last month by Newport city police for charges of resisting arrest and possession of marijuana.
Pion was issued a citation in those cases and ordered to appear in Superior Court next Tuesday. He was also held overnight in jail the night of that arrest at the request of the Vermont Probation and Parole Office, according to police.

No one was hurt in the incident but police estimated damage to the vehicles as high as $250,000.

“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,” Sheriff Kirk Martin told the Associated Press. “The radios are ruined.”

Newport City Police declined to comment on the case to ABC News.

I'm surprised that doesn't happen around here. There's tractors around that dwarf that Case.

This will go a long way in stimulating demand for cars. Well done Mr Pion, you have done a fine job in your attempt to improve the economy of US.

HossHuge · 08-07-2012, 08:27 AM

Insert Hosshuge as Roger Pion and a tank as his tractor. Then insert all the fucking retarded drivers here as the cop cars..

Who pays for this now?

FordGT90Concept · 08-07-2012, 09:54 AM

Tax payers...

Screaming Beaver · 08-08-2012, 12:23 AM

yeah now the taxpayers get to replace the cars he ruined. I'd be rather annoyed by that asshole if I lived in that county myself. Would love to be a criminal though.

Our esteemed lawmakers need to do something about this now!

I have one of these to play with this week.

And two of these.

I already install the system in the HD 500, and while driving it realized that a Semi truck cabs roof is about the same height as the bottom of the cab with the tires on it. I wanted to crush a car or two myself.

This is what I was talking about. Scew cars, these will crush semis:

John Deere 9560R Scraper Special (560 HP, 13.5 L, 18-speed transmission)

Steevo · 08-08-2012, 05:07 AM

Only if they are busy not burning down.

If you want extreme how about a HD600 quad track scraper edition, if it doesn't move the earth will.

But I prefer 1100+ BHP and a beer cooler.

I think wheels would climb a large object like a truck better than tracks would.

Chevalr1c · 08-08-2012, 01:15 PM

Or at least the turning circle is better, probably.

You would be surprised. We have 5 of the quad tracks in use by construction and earth moving companies with land level hardware, the whole track assembly pivots and will climb anything that it can get a couple cleats on.

They use a quad track machine in Antarctica for hauling as it can climb over, and makes a nice path.
