Tractor-Trailer Smashes Police Cruiser | Boston News

A Florida man, Timothy Dorsey, 50, is facing serious charges after allegedly plowing into a Massachusetts State Police cruiser in a wild nighttime rampage. Driving a fully loaded tractor-trailer, he reportedly smashed into the cruiser so hard it knocked over a light post and parking sign, then careened through a curb, onto a lawn, and destroyed three trees—before finally being stopped by troopers. Dorsey claimed he was lost and trying to turn around using the barracks, but police noticed he was slurring, smelled of alcohol, refused a sobriety test, and fumbled the breathalyzer. Charged with leaving the scene of property damage, DUI, and negligent operation, he pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recognizance with court set for October 1. His lawyer remains silent as this bizarre incident unfolds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
