A 38-year-old Paso Robles man is in jail after he allegedly used a tractor to crush a vehicle following an argument early Saturday.
Shortly after midnight, a caller reported a front-loader tractor had crashed into an occupied vehicle in Santa Maria. Levi Gaze crashed into the car several times.
A female passenger in the car escaped without being seriously injured. Gaze then used the bucket to further destroy the vehicle.
Deputies safely contacted Gaze while he was still in the tractor and took him into custody without incident.
Gaze was booked at the Northern Branch Jail on felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism. He was also booked on an outstanding no-bail warrant from San Luis Obispo County. He is being held without bail.
Don’t bring a plastic compact to a tractor derby.
Just a scratch.
Do you think this is funny?
Yup. Should be a national story of the absurd. Better than burning Teslas, right?
Don’t burn anything. Y’all are disturbing.
Automatic or semiautomatic? Must outlaw tractors for OUR OWN GOOD…..
What color was the weapon? Was it a black assault tractor? Did it have one of those things that go up?
He gazed into his future and saw incarceration.
Oh Deere….
