Man Wrecks His Own Blazer and Vintage Mustang During Rampage

Editor

In Arkansas on Easter Sunday, a disgruntled former federal employee rammed into the Ravenden Springs Post Office twice, using two different vehicles. Glenn Spalding first punched a hole in the building using an ‘84 Chevy Blazer. Then he fled the scene, headed home and got his red ‘72 Mustang (nooooo!), then returned and rammed that into the ragged hole left by the Blazer. Claiming nothing personal against posties, Spalding said he was simply targeting the nearest federal building: his beef was that the government owed him money. Spalding had to be extracted from the Mustang as it was wedged so deeply into the ruined building. Now he’s up on a slew of felony charges, including criminal mischief and vehicular fleeing. The Blazer broke down shortly after Spalding’s initial escape, but as for the Mustang, the police chief said that it "held up well, but he scratched the paint up real bad."

this man should be executed. IF ANY OF YOU ARE PLANNING ON WRECKING A CLASSIC CAR, drive it to my house and let me keep it instead.

Well, could have been worse. At least he wasn’t another Timothy McVeigh.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That was for ruining a classic Blazer. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And that was for ruining an even more classic Mustang. At least the Stang held up well other than paint and dings. Highly doubt a modern car could do that. As for the Chevy, I guess FORD doesnt always prove to stand for Found On Road Dead to you GM guys. Still this guy should have his license revoked for endangering classics.

Wow, What an idiot! I watched a vid on Youtube the other day where a Guy smashed through the front of a Home Depot and Drove around the store crashing into aisles and causing close to $2 Million in damages.

Why don’t people do us all a favour and drive off a cliff when they get like this?
