Dumb Criminals: Refridgerator Thrown At Cops While Tractor-Trailer Leads Them On 34 Mile Chase
BELLE VERNON, Pa. (AP) A tractor-trailer driver threw items from his cab at police including socks, shoes and a small refrigerator as he led them on a 34-mile chase in western Pennsylvania, authorities said Sunday.
Police in Westmoreland County said a man called emergency dispatchers just before 2 a.m. Saturday and said he planned to wreck his truck. State troopers tried to stop the vehicle near Washington Township but the driver disregarded the emergency lights and sirens, and a pursuit began along Route 70 and later the Pennsylvania Turnpike, police said.
"During the pursuit, the driver threw numerous items at pursuing troopers from the cab" including a steel canister that struck a Greensburg state police unit and disabled it, police said. The driver also threw a mini refrigerator before the truck was stopped with spike strips shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday.
