Police in Rapid City, South Dakota arrested a man they say stole a bulldozer and dozed electrical poles, rammed a pickup and damaged a building Sunday.
Authorities said 21-year-old Justin Thornley stole a bulldozer from a construction site and demolished a house before ramming other objects.
According to the Rapid City Journal, officers needed beanbags fired from a shotgun, a Taser and pepper spray to arrest Thornley.
According to Pennington County jail records, Thornley is charged with grand theft, obstruction of an officer and vandalism.
It’s unclear from records when Thornley is next due in court. A spokesman from the Rapid City police department didn’t immediately return a call for comment.

Whenever I try this in GTA V, I'm dead inside five minutes.
In a prepared statement by the NBA (National Bulldozer Association) Bulldozers don't kill people, people kill people. We at the NBA would like to explicitly point out that more stringent bulldozer controls and restrictions would not have prevented this incident. We would like to point out that if more of the public had acess to bigger and more powerful dozers this incident could of been stopped quickly and easily.
Lou; This thread was rapidly devolving into a mudslinging contest; therefore your humor (sarcastic as it may be) is quite welcome. +1
