"we bring roger pion in first" 34-year-old rogerrpion was far from his father's tractor. his hands in shackles -- as he entered the newport courtroom -- accused of crushing 7 orleans county sheriff department cruisers during an afternoon rampage thursday. "it was like you were at a truck show watching some big foot smash trucks." randy mathison knows pion well -- and says the attack doesn't surprise him."he's been a 3 farmer all his life. he

probably was just upset."pion was arrested last month by newport city police for possession of marijuana and resisting arrest. he already has 17 misdemeanor convictions -- but police wouldn't say if the rampage was revenge."this isn't the tractor used in the crime but it is a very similar model. we wanted to give you a sense of how big a tractor would have to be to crush seven police cars.""how do you stop a tractor? we are just fortunate he stopped. we are fortunate the general public wasn't hurt. we are fortunate my officers weren't hurt. we are fortunate mr. pion wasn't hurt."police say pion wws carrying a loaded gun -- but never drew it. police had to draw theirs - to get him to stop a few miles from the station."he's a real nice guy. he's been in this community a long time. it's kind of hard to see him go down like this." as for police -- they're moving past the shock and picking up the very expensive pieces. damages are already surpassing a quarter million dollars."we'll roll with the punches. it was a big blow but we'll come back strong.""at this point the sheriffs department has no idea how long it is going to take them to replace the fleet. in the meantime they're borrowing cruisers from counties like windham and essex county is helping them out with their daily transports.""we're still doing our job there was a few hiccups this morning to get everything organized but

everything is coming off without a hitch."and the derby fire department is helping police salvage what they can -- using the jaws of life to pry equipment out of the crushed cruisers. in the end it's going to be a costly crime for everyone in town.
