A Vermont farmer used his tractor to crush seven Orleans County Sheriff’s Department squad cars on Thursday because he was angry about being arrested on marijuana charges last month. “It’s more than half our fleet,” Chief Deputy Sheriff Phil Brooks explained to the Burlington Free Press. “We have 11 cars.” Roger Pion, 34, allegedly flattened five marked cruisers and two unmarked vehicles, including a van used for transporting prisoners. A car belonging the the department’s bookkeeper was also damaged as the tractor pushed it to clear a path to the squad cars. “It was a massive tractor,” Newport Express Publisher Ken Wells told the Free Press. “It has four six-foot tandem wheels on the back. It was red. It must be at least a 15-ton tractor.” “It’s pretty much the biggest tractor you can get,” Police Chief Seth DiSanto agreed. The suspect ditched the tractor about two miles from the crime scene and then fled on foot before being apprehended, according to WCAX. He has been turned over to the Vermont State Police. Pion was previously arrested on July 3 for marijuana possession and resisting arrest. His court date had been set for next Tuesday. Watch this video from WCAX, broadcast Aug. 2, 2012.

Guess it's time to ban assault tractors now.
Don't mess with Vermont stoners!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Stupid friggin cops, stood between him and his "cheetos". Stoners are only dangerous when you screw with their munchies. I speak from experience on that.
damn, i wish i could still post at lp, i love to trash fireisland on this thread.
Sure hope his farm insurance policy covers tractor power!
If that's the way his temper is when they take his weed away,they should give it back to him so he can mellow out some. As it is,chances are he is now going to lose his freedom and his farm.

I speak from experience on that. Yeah,but if you point out something shiny to them you can distract them and they will forget all about it. Stoners are easily amused and pleased.
