I love this. According to Chickasha, Oklahoma police, the guy may have been intoxicated.
Ya think?
But here's the story. Guy walks into a hardware store, sees an Echo chainsaw, and decides to walk off with it. He needs to hide it.
By stuffing it down the front of his pants.
It took a minute for store employee Richard Largent to catch on to what was happening. "I felt sorry for him; I thought the gentleman was crippled." But another employee saw the bar of the chainsaw between the man's legs, and the chase was on.
NBC affiliate KSHB reports it this way:
"Employees cornered Black in a nearby field, where he ditched the chainsaw, climbed a tree, and scrambled down into someone’s house ... when the person inside kicked him out, the Ross employees chased Black to a creek where he dove in—headfirst.
I can't make this stuff up. But just think, that chain saw was this close to causing a little unnatural selection.
