A Guy Blows Off Steam by Crashing His Truck Through His Own House
A guy named John Jones Jr. was at his house outside Atlanta on Thursday, arguing with his wife on the phone. It’s not clear what the fight was about. But when they hung up, he needed to blow off some steam. So he got in his truck, and plowed it through their house. He started in their backyard, crashed through one wall, drove through their living room, crashed through another wall, and ended up in their front yard. No one else was home, so no one got hurt. And he told the local news he doesn’t regret it, because he’s a contractor who’s been out of work for a year-and-a-half. So at least he has a project to work on now. No word on how his wife reacted. Apparently they’ve been trying to sell the house for a while, but haven’t been able to. And now it needs a whole new living room, so she probably wasn’t thrilled. But the good news is police aren’t charging John with a crime, because technically it’s not illegal to drive a truck through your own house. Get the full story here.
