An intoxicated Harvey man led Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office deputies on a wild chase around parts of the West Bank in a stolen 178,000-pound excavator on Thursday night,


quote:

hit several trees, power lines and poles, and a portion of the elevated West Bank Expressway.


quote:

Deputies spotted the excavator driving recklessly in the 2400 block of the lower West Bank Expressway in Harvey. They tried to pull over the driver of the construction equipment. But Strength refused, and deputies couldn't do much to stop him because of the equipment's size.


quote:

he drove through a fence in the 700 block, Fortunato said. Strength drove the machine into the Harvey Canal and abandoned the excavator as it sank.


quote:

But Strength wasn't done. He began swimming back and forth between the canal banks to avoid deputies, Fortunato said.

At least the police have an interesting story to tell their grandchildren.

Last summer I raced my operator on foot when he was in a large track ho. That thing will absolutely fly. I won by the way.

No doubt. The stuff should never be legalized or we'll have construction equipment going rampant everywhere!

Does the suspect have a facebook page? I want to see some of his Vine footage he shot last night while driving through Gretna.

He was driving around in Harvey. He's lucky he didn't go through Gretna. The Gretna PD don't mess around.
