ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska police say a man used a stolen front-end loader to break into a liquor store and then led officers on a low-speed chase.
A witness flagged down Anchorage police to report a front-loader with forklift attachments had ripped off most of the front entrance to a Brown Jug, an Alaska liquor store chain.
The witness saw the driver go inside, take bottles, then hop back on the front-loader. During a 15-mph chase, police followed the driver into a recreational vehicle park and blocked the only exit.
Police say alcohol bottles were found inside the front-loader, which had been stolen from a construction site.
Joseph Martin is being held on suspicion of criminal mischief, burglary, felony driving while intoxicated and other counts. His bail is set at $30,000.
