In this age of video cameras everywhere, surely the police can come up with a better image that will actually allow the public to help locate this dirtbag.
Is there a correlation between the police not wanting to do anything to physically interfere with a criminal, even an armed one (remember the beanbag incident where VSP troopers were criminally charged) and this guy comically ‘eluding’ the cops on a: bicycle, paddleboard, sailboat, and now tractor and dump truck!! Let’s trade in those Dodge Hemi police cruisers and big police SUVs for the e-bikes that Vermont Police are now appropriated to.
