KSN ^ | Sept. 23, 2015 | KSN

The combine was reported weaving from ditch to ditch on U.S. 56 highway. It struck a guy wire and caused damage to power poles near the intersection of Southeast 10 Road and U.S. 56 Highway. It then continued West and entered the city of Ellinwood around 10:47 p.m. The driver drove through a residential neighborhood, striking several power poles and a 2005 Cheverolet pickup truck parked on the road. The pickup truck sustained extensive damage and the 8-row combine header was torn from the combine. An Ellinwood police officer attempted to contact the driver around 10:52 p.m. While doing so, the driver put the machine in reverse and rammed the Ellinwood police car. The deputy and Ellinwood officer fired approximately 18 rounds at the combine in an effort to disable it.

A man can only take so much driving up and down the rows of corn until he goes corn cob crazy.

Despite the corny clichés, drugs combined with alcohol feeds a toxic cornucopia. Adding common core and boredom to the mix sews seeds of anger. What an udder shame.

Thats a redneck for you... when something breaks, you rig it up to work.
What the story didn’t tell us is, days before the gas pedal quit working. So he pulled one out of his wife’s Toyota.
Bad choice.

Hay. Admit it. You’re ripe with jealousy. Pick on someone else, why don’t you.

“That’s one step up from an Amish drive-by.”
