Vermont Police Cruisers Crushed

Sheriff deputies in Orleans County, Vermont received a 911 call about a tractor running over other vehicles.

To their surprise the vehicles being run over were their own, outside their station.

Before they could get outside five marked cruisers, one unmarked car, and a transport van had all been crushed.

Everything in the vehicles is likely a total loss as well, with damages amounting to near $300,000.

Newport City Police eventually caught up to the tractor, and arrested the man with charges totaling seven counts of felony unlawful mischief, one count of misdemeanor unlawful mischief, one count aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, one count of gross negligent operation, and one count of leaving the scene of an accident.


The man who carried out the attack was angry over his recent arrest for marijuana possession and resisting arrest.
