Wields shotgun, steals AT&T truck for joyride...
(old news - 09:26AM Thursday Feb 08 2007)
tags: Oddities
A user writes in: "I'll admit, I've felt like going postal on AT&T before, but one individual took things too far and scared the hell out of two AT&T installers when he pointed an empty shotgun at the technicians." According to the police information, the teen was naked, and after he pointed the shotgun at the technicians, he stole their truck and went for a joy ride -- which ultimately ended after he slammed into a construction vehicle. AT&T techs have it easy -- at least nobody tries to run them over for ruining their azaleas.

As crazy as this story sounds you'll be surprised what some service techs have to put up with. The best stories I've heard come from the non-pay techs. Those guys should get hazard pay for some of the stuff they have to deal with.

Re: hah

Well...

1. I am glad to hear they are ok
2. Sucks that the kid took the truck
3. I can only guess he wanted naked DSL really bad!
4. I think the techs had rights to run, it's not like a punchdown tool is really a match for a shotgun. In all honesty I think I would have ran as well!
5. Trucks and equipment can be replaced or salvaged. Last I checked we haven't figured out how to salvage a human yet. Clone one maybe, not salvage one.
6. I really would want to know what the teen injested to run naked like that with a shotgun. I would be willing to be his parents are keeping a really close eye on him now, and the cops are too!

Technicians that all they do is non-pay disconnects. Non-pay being those subs that refuse to pay their bills or just happen to pay with soon to be bounced checks or with stolen credit cards. Lets just say must of these are not in the best neighborhoods.

This is the best story I have heard yet. I'm glad the tech's are ok, but lets review and relate. If you were a tech, and you'd just got out of your truck, turned around, and seen a naked teenager with a shotgun running at your, screaming "Gimmie your truck!", what more can you do, or how could you react? That would just be a mind blowing experience, I think. It is definately something you can look back on and laugh at. If I were the tech, I would be overjoyed by the fact that he wrecked the truck. I wouldn't want to sit down on the same seat that this dudes naked, sweaty butt-cheeks were on. Goodness, kids need to lay off the drugs.

That is unfair. She is a victim of performance and mental stress (family, separation, work, fatigue, inexperience with relationships,..). I've worked with some VERY smart and credible scientists (double doctorates with several minors) and I can say they have no clue about relationships: they've been too focused on their careers and not enjoyed life and situations.

In light of what transpired, she is as much a victim as the woman she targeted. I think all THREE need evaluation, and early retirement. I see a Lifetime channel story coming...

Back to main topic, teen was likely on crack or meth or both and tripping...

No, the teen was probably high on something like meth. In that case, he needs to euthanized.

(OT)

Agreed. And it's too bad some of them have positions that put them in constant and direct contact with the public. In the case of this particular astronut, I'm not so sure the above excuse holds water; she was quite affable and personable in public until her 900 mile trek in diapers. A full metal jacket mental breakdown and being a bit clueless about relationships are very different things. The latter could be applied to over half the population

PS: Some 'expert' on TV last night tossed out Accutane (for acne) as a possible excuse for her behaviour.

Bulls--t! She was obsessed, that's all. Obsessed people often have no consideration of the possible consquences of their actions. Their only consideration is fulfillment of their obsession.

These alternative explanations for her actions are merely an attempt -- a smokescreen -- by friends, family, and her lawyer to elicit sympathy and to inveigle an acquittal and/or reduced sentence out of the judge and/or jury.

Lucky to be Alive.

I know those two techs, they were both in my crew and I have worked with them closely. I am just thrilled they are ok. The one guy told me the story the other day and I was just shocked! Not only have I worked in that town but I live in that town!!! From what he said, they were just doing their jobs and the guy came out of nowhere. They didn't do anything to provoke this guy. Craziness.

edit: He said they were working on a digup in a front yard on this street. The truck was running because of the work that needed to be done, blowers/heaters and such. The one guy I'll call Chris saw the guy coming at them with the shotgun, naked and purple from the cold. The other tech, a heavyset gentleman I'll call Lloyd heard Chris say "Hey Lloyd, we gotta get the hell out of here!" They both started running, with the gunman tracking Chris. Chris stated as he was running he looked back in his life flight to see if he had eluded his would-be assailant only to see him aim, apparently pull the trigger with no shot. Chris then said the gunman struggled with the firearm to no avail, then disguarding it made for the utility truck and proceed to chase after Lloyd. Lloyd, exhausted from the ordeal to this point, passes out face first in a snow bank on the side of the road. Chris runs to help him as the 19yo male drives the ulility vehicle into a parked, unaffiliated construction truck, parked on the street. At which point the unarmed attacker attempted to commandeer a backhoe that was in use. The operator, seeing this unarmed crazy person refused to leave the cab at which point the assailant was apprehended by the local authorities. (GO SPD!) Needless to say it was quite an ordeal for all involved. It just goes to show, you never know......

Playing GTA while using drugs?

But I will say one thing about those AT&T techs, running from a nut waving a shotgun (they did not know it was not loaded at the time) is NOT the smartest thing to do (unless they already had 50+ yards on him).

NOTE: the 50+ yards assumes that he had standard bird shot and not 00 or slug loads, which would be a good assumption 99% of the time.

"I was supposed to have an install this morning, and no one's shown up!"

"Sorry ma'am, but the install crew was assaulted by a naked person and their truck was stolen."

"That has got to be the LAMEST excuse I've ever heard!" *click*

That is just some crazy stuff. At least the techs are ok.

You got it all wrong

Your all wrong!!!! The Death Star was calling the young Jedi Warrior home and the crazy astronaut lady got arrested on her way to pick him up, and take him to the launch. So , doing what any Jedi Warrior would do, he used his Jedi mind powers on the 2 techs so they thought they saw a gun. He then stole the truck to meet up with his pilot for the big trip.
What can I say, when Lord Vader calls, you better answer.

Glad to hear the 2 techs are ok, but, how long did "lloyd" run befor passing out?
