Vermont farmer crushes 7 police cars with tractor over pot arrest - Marijuana News - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

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.

Proof positive that cannabis enthusiasts and growers are non violent IMO. He could have used something else most farmers keep handy, but he didn't.

It was farming that allowed humans to grow beyond hunter gatherers, and the backbone of every advanced civilization. I applaud them all with humbled appreciation and respect!

Roger, I take a bow in your honor.

That is an excellent point, he did commit a crime against the police department out of revenge, but at least nobody was directly hurt or threatened.

Way to go!
Too bad he did not take out the whole police department!
If only more of us did that...

He should have lined it up, set it on cruise... got the heck outta there and called it in stolen.

Might have helped his defense attorney a bit.
