PINSON, Ala. - A man was charged with attempted murder after authorities said he drove his truck through the window of a service station. Jefferson County Chief Deputy Randy Christian said a 49-year-old man pulled into a BP station on Alabama 75 in Pinson Sunday morning and got into a dispute with the clerk because the pump was turned off.

This adds fuel to the fire. It is a gas but why is John pedaling this story? Is he trying to get the lead out or fill up his quota or is he just tanked? Oh, well, thems the brakes.

A couple of years ago, a customer got mad and drove his car into the Waffle House in London, OH just North of I-70 at Exit 79. It was over a disputed bill, I believe. For a good while afterwards, the staff got teased about "drive-in service"... A trucker some years ago was jilted by a waitress at the old Buckhorn Truck Stop in Bloomsburg, PA. So he rammed his truck into the restaurant there. He backed up and was headed in for a second hit when another trucker ran over and pulled his trailer emergency brake air line. Cops arrived in "short order" to arrest him...

He was obviously pumped up about something that ignited his temper, and he blew up.

Talking Must Be The High Prices

I can't really blame him in the era of high gas prices. We need to start drilling before more incidents like this occur.

I agree, and apparently the guy decided to drill through the store... instead of the ground..

For a second I thought this was one of those stuck accelerator incidents. Then I read on a saw it was a Ford, not a Toyota.

LOL.. sometimes that happens when drivers hit the accelerator instead of the brake pedal.
