Bulldozer Barrels Into Police Station
Police Say Man Had Grudge Against Department
TROY, N.H. -- A man stole a bulldozer from a construction site and slammed into the Troy police station early Friday morning, police said. Police said Stanley Burt, 34, stole a bulldozer, drove it up a road in Troy, maneuvered behind Town Hall and crashed it into the police department.
"Mr. Burt drove the bulldozer into the police station, backed up, drove it in again, backed up and hit it a final time," Sgt. David Griffin said. The entranceway and front wall of the building were destroyed, the power was out and some computers were damaged, police said. No one was in the building, and an officer patrolling the area saw him in the act, police said.
"Mr. Burt had a number of contacts with the Troy Police Department," Griffin said. "We believe he's venting his anger." Investigators said Burt had a grudge against the department and told a friend a couple of weeks ago that he planned to crash into the station, but his friend didn't take him seriously.
Burt has a criminal record, including 20 driving offenses. In court Friday, he has been harassed by police. "I've been harassed to the point this has brought this to," Burt said.
Burt, who appeared in court wearing a T-shirt depicting a construction excavator, also called for an "investigation" into the police department.
He was ordered held on $200,000 bail and ordered to stay away from the police department and officers. He is scheduled to return to court on Sept. 5.
