5,000-pound bridge stolen in Michigan
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan man says his family’s 5,000-pound footbridge has been stolen from his property in suburban Detroit.
Robert Cortis filed a police report Wednesday saying the 40-foot bridge is made of steel and wood, and that it was stolen from his property in Farmington Hills.
Cortis says he discovered the bridge was missing when he stopped by his property near 8 Mile Road with plans to move the bridge this week. He planned to set it up at his catering business as a place to take wedding photos.
Cortis says the bridge has sentimental value because his father built it decades ago. He says whoever has it can return it with no questions asked.
2 trucks, ATV and DUI charges for Vermont man
POMFRET, Vt. (AP) — Vermont State Police say a 48-year-old man drove his pickup truck off the road, piloted another off the road trying to pull the first one out and then drove an ATV, all while intoxicated.
Police on Thursday said Dwayne Fenlason was charged with driving under the influence after the Nov. 30 incident in Pomfret.
They say Fenlason drove his truck off the road Sunday evening then went home to get his other pickup to haul out the stranded vehicle. He was on his way back when the second truck ended up off the road. He went home again and got his ATV to try to pull out the trucks.
Police say his blood alcohol content was 0.30 percent, nearly four times the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
It could not immediately be learned if he had a lawyer.
