A 26-year-old man has been accused of stealing a bulldozer from a Florida construction site, driving it into a neighborhood and knocking down campaign signs for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, according to authorities and homeowners.
The man took the bulldozer in Haines City on Saturday and repeatedly destroyed Biden signs in full view of people who live in the neighborhood, witnesses said. James Blight was charged with grand theft auto and trespassing, according to the Haines City Police Department.

Police said Blight claimed he was too drunk at the time to remember what happened. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

Question for the heavy-equipment construction savvy. Don’t bulldozers have ignition keys like cars?
“Police said Blight claimed he was too drunk at the time to remember what happened.”
Shucks, He could’ve been out for a joy ride.
the pick is of a backhoe and not a dozer. Still crazy
Actually that would not be even at all! Bulldozers run on diesel. If he gassed it up it would tear the motor apart and that would suck!
Does he have a Go Fund Me?
Those I’ve seen yes. Often the keys are left in them to prevent them from getting lost. The keys that is from getting lost...
If he was too drunk to remember then he was probably aiming for the trump signs.
Dozers, generally don’t have keys—kind of hard to steal, if you think about it. Backhoes often do; however, many tractors will start with any key that fits.
Yea but doing it with a dozer makes a statement!
I like the way this guy drinks!
Hi.
It wasn’t me. I sware.
I can’t operate a Cat D4.

If it’s a cat it is
If it’s a cat it is
Nobody has ever accused DemocRATS of being smart.
The attorney was drunk too. Come on man, he only knocked over two signs. It wuz accident.
Every piece of equipment I ever ran had a key to start it.
The old Cats had a pony motor and the pony motor had a key.
They are no harder to steal than cars
