Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03) 

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) -- Working in a stout former bank building with windows closed and air conditioners humming, Orleans County sheriff's deputies didn't know what was happening in their parking lot until a neighbor called 911.

A man on a big farm tractor, angry about his recent arrest for resisting arrest and marijuana possession, was rolling across their vehicles - five marked cruisers, one unmarked car and a transport van.

By the time they ran outside, the tractor was down the driveway and out onto the road.

With their vehicles crushed, "We had nothing to pursue him with," said Chief Deputy Philip Brooks.

Thursday afternoon's incident ended when city police in Newport, the county seat of the northern Vermont county, caught up with Roger Pion, 34, a short distance away.

No one was injured. At least two deputies had gone inside a few moments before after washing their vehicles, officials said.

"Nobody was hurt. That's the thing everybody's got to cherish," said Sheriff Kirk Martin.

Martin estimated damage to the vehicles at more than $300,000. Not only were their roofs and hoods caved in, "the radios are ruined, the radar detectors, the cages in the cars ... We're going to have to get the jaws of life up here to pry the trunks open and see about the rifles and shotguns," Martin said.

Brooks said the vehicles destroyed constituted more than half the fleet of sheriff's cruisers in the rural county on the Canadian border. Others were out on patrol at the time of the incident.

WEST MILFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Summer vacation has been anything but routine for a New York City social studies teacher who lives in northern New Jersey.

James Geist has spotted pythons twice within days in his West Milford yard.

Geist was reading on his deck when he thought he saw a branch move on July 23. He soon realized it was a snake.

Police arrived with two snake handlers who told Geist the branch was a 15-foot albino python.

Geist tells The Record newspaper the snake was huge, thick and docile.

Four days later, Geist saw another snake. This time it was a 10-foot python.

Animal control believes the tropical snakes were released by someone who had moved from the neighborhood.

COLLIER COUNTY, Florida – Collier County Florida is adding insult to Wallace Weatherholt’s injury. A Florida airboat captain whose hand was bitten off by an alligator is now hilariously facing charges for feeding an alligator.

Collier County Jail records show that Wallace Weatherholt, Age 63, has been charged with unlawfully feeding the alligator and has posted a $1,000 bond.

  

Weatherholt was attacked and lost his hand on June 12 as he was giving an Indiana family a tour.

To be fair to the county, Weatherholt was trying to feed the gator fish, not his hand. The family said Weatherholt hung a fish over the side of a boat and had his hand at the water's surface when the nine-foot long animal attacked.

Wildlife officers tracked down and killed the alligator.

Weatherholt's hand was found too, but it could not be reattached.
