Andy LeBeau of the Boone Police Department has been an officer for three decades. But he'd never prepared for what happened this week: An hour-long, 20 m.p.h. pursuit of a dude on a large tractor.

My grandfather always left the keys in the ignition of all 3 of his (much smaller than this and probably less expensive) tractors, which were kept in a pole barn with no doors. I would venture to guess some other tractor owners do the same.
Attn Mr Boone Police Chief! There’s no frame to bend on a Ford Explorer; it’s not a body-on-frame vehicle - it’s been a unibody vehicle for well over a decade. Now, there is a subframe cradle under the drivetrain, but there is no ladder frame or x-type frame running front-to-back under the entire body.

Preach on the "same jokes over and over again" point. Going viral has its consequences.
Great story!
