Man Uses Tractor to Level 7 Police Cruisers
Orleans County Sheriff’s Department is baffled by an incident that’s going to cost the department a quarter of a million dollars. A farmer in Vermont was livid about being arrested, so he took out his displeasure by leveling a group of police cruisers with his tractor.
Roger Pion is being held in the Northern State Correctional Facility facing 11 charges after he destroyed half of the police cars in his county.
“It’s more than half our fleet. We have 11 cars,” Chief Deputy Sheriff Phil Brooks told the Burlington Free Press.
The cost of each vehicle is about $40,000, when fully-equipped. But these tiny cars were no match for Pion’s tractor.
“It was a massive tractor. It has four 6-foot tandem wheels on the back. It was red. It must be at least a 15-ton tractor,” Newport Express Publisher Ken Wells said, describing the incident.
This wasn’t Pion’s tractor. It was actually owned by his parents. When your 34-year old son borrows the family tractor and lays out half a fleet of police cars, you have some serious family issues.
Pion is being hit with seven counts of felony unlawful mischief and one count of unlawful mischief on suspicion of damaging the cars. They should probably keep him from getting onto anymore tractors.

If that would’ve been a Black men, he would be dead RIGHT NOW!
Destruction of government proper is a FELONY and he should spend the rest of his life in jail. A Black man shot a police dog and he got a life sentence because a po-lice dog is the same as a ‘human’!!!
Since these cars are po-lice property, this jerk ‘KILLED’ po-lice cars, and should be sentenced for LIFE, also!
BUT, HE’LL BE OUT IN A FEW YEARS, SINCE NO PIGS WERE COOKED, I MEAN KILLED!!! LOL

@ Derrick
The statement you made is very true. A black man would have had multiple bullets in his lifeless body. A black man was sentenced to life in prison for killing a police dog. Yet white privilege has allowed this man to life. White privilege will allow this man to serve only a few years in prison, if that. White privilege will make excuses for this man and hail him as some sort of anti-hero against the establishment while blacks are dehumanize as monsters who need to be kill on sight – innocent or not. It’s hard to understand a white person’s mentality because it is quite bizarre if we want to be accurate. Perhaps if more studies were done on whites to understand their way of thinking in terms of justice, social issues, race relations, and etc. we can deal with them more in society.
