According to the Virginia State Police, the “tank,” is actually a weaponless armored personnel carrier. The chase ended by about 9:45 p.m. and the suspect was taken into custody, state police said.

Police said the vehicle was taken on the joy ride by a soldier, who has not been identified. The chase lasted nearly two hours, with speeds topping out at 40 mph.

Anyone who thinks that is a tank needs to be euthanized.

Probably the same retards who call a rifle a machine gun.

I never knew WikiTiger was in the National Guard

Virginia Army National Guard 1st Lt. Joshua Phillip Yabut, 29, was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, felony eluding police, and felony unauthorized use of a vehicle on Wednesday, hours after he was apprehended with armored personnel carrier taken from a base near Richmond and driven into the city, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

The Guard said that the 276th Engineer Battalion, the Petersburg-based of which Yabut was in command, was doing routine training at Fort Pickett "when he drove away in the armored personnel carrier." Yabut had 11 years of service and was deployed to Afghanistan with the Illinois National Guard from 2008 to 2009.

Yabut also apparently tweeted before and during the incident.

He appeared to hint about what was to come by tweeting a screenshot of a map of the capitol in Richmond next to a screenshot of the Wikipedia entry for the M113 armored personnel carrier.

Yabut also seems to have taken video footage of himself while driving the vehicle, tweeting out a short clip.

Yabut also shared a variety of news stories through his Twitter account and posted a number of strange messages. "all i wanna do is get an anime wife," he said in one. He also tweeted, "where is this damn water buffalo," which may have been a reference to a tank of water for troops that armored personnel carriers sometimes haul.


It is not yet clear what motives there were for the theft. Yabut himself appears to have a varied background. In February he filed paperwork to run as an independent for US Senate, challenging current Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine, though he was notified in March that his application lacked adequate information, according to the Times-Dispatch.

He also led development of a cryptocurrency called ZenCash, though the project's team said he left suddenly in 2017 and then "announced and made public a method of attacking" the currency's blockchain.
