Justice, farmer style: Man crushes police cars

Last updated 10:42 03/08/2012




CRUSHED: The Orleans County Sheriff's Department has lost five marked cruisers and two unmarked vehicles after a farmer allegedly crushed them with a tractor.



Authorities say a US farmer, angry over a recent arrest, used a large tractor like a monster truck, destroying seven police cruisers parked outside a sheriff's office.
Police say 34-year-old Roger Pion, of Vermont, was taken into custody shortly after the episode . It happened outside the Orleans County Sheriff's Department in Newport. No one was injured.
Police say Pion was angry about his arrest last month on charges of resisting arrest and marijuana possession.
A phone number for Pion can't be located and police don't know if he has an attorney.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Phil Brooks tells The Burlington Free Press that Pion crushed more than half the department's fleet: Five marked cruisers and two unmarked vehicles, including a van.
One witness estimates the tractor's rear tyres were 15 feet (4.5m) high.
