Man takes construction equipment for joy ride

Shawn Pruett of Idaho Falls, Idaho was arrested yesterday for stealing a front-end loader, mini-excavator, and skid steer from a construction site over the weekend. According to police quoted in a LocalNews8 article, Pruett said he was planning to make some dough removing snow with the equipment. Apparently he also used the front-end loader to flip over a random car and chauffeur his girlfriend's kids to school. Link
