| IN WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A REHEARSAL FOR AN upcoming “You might be a redneck if…..” episode, two men in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, were arrested Saturday after their pickup crashed. The truck was towing a trailer on which they’d place a 1,500 gallon tank and then filled with water stolen from a fire hydrant. |
Sheriff’s Sgt. Dwayne Ritchie said that a witness saw the men with a large hose attached to the hydrant, filling the tank. Realizing the men were taking the water, one of the witnesses took a photo of the crime in progress before reporting it to the sheriff’s office.
As they were driving away, the overloaded trailer blew a tire and drove both the trailer and the pickup into a ditch.
The two men were charged with Theft in the 5th Degree, Interference with Officials Acts and Public Intoxication. Both men were being held over the weekend in the Pottawattamie County jail.
They said that they were going to use the water for a “Slip - N - Slide” setup.
