Police: Cop Cars Crushed By Angry Tractor Driver in VT

One Vermont town is in need of some new police cruisers after a man allegedly destroyed them with a tractor.

FOX News Radio’s Kerin McCue explains:

Audio clip:

It happened just outside the police station in Newport, Vermont. Chief Deputy Sheriff Phil Brooks got the call.

(Brooks) “There was a tractor running over police cruisers in the back parking lot.”

Outside 34-year-old Roger Pion was sitting atop a really big tractor.

(Brooks) “Bigger than an Army tank, or as big as an Army tank.”

He was using it like a monster truck crushing most of the department’s fleet.

(Brooks) “A total of seven Sheriff’s Department vehicles that were totaled , one unmarked police car, one unmarked prisoner transport van, and the remaining five were all marked cruisers.”

Pion was arrested. It turns out Pion was p’d-off about a drug arrest last month.

    U.S. Marijuana Party 2012 political candidate
    Cris Ericson for U.S. Senator for Vermont,
    (running against incumbent Bernie Sanders)
    went on TV Aug. 2, 2012 and explained that it is
    not right for the government to call it a
    “WAR ON DRUGS” because it is really a
    “CIVIL WAR” against the peoples’ right to choose,
    and she asked voters to do their
    “REVOLUTIONARY BEST.” Earlier that same day,
    ROGER PION drove his red farm tractor right over 7
    police vehicles like a monster truck rally because
    they had arrested him last month for MARIJUANA.
