FAILED "CARJACKING" ATTEMPT

BATTLE LAKE, Minn. (AP) - "Ottertail County authorities say a man tried to carjack a MnDOT snowplow truck.

It happened Tuesday night (12/4/07) on state Highway 210 near Battle Lake.

Authorities say the plow operator saw the 23-year-old Battle Lake man along the highway and stopped to see if he needed help. The man climbed onto the truck, then allegedly told the driver to get out.

A short time later, the man got off the truck and the plow operator drove away.

A pickup driver later saw the man standing in the middle of the highway and also stopped to see if he needed help. Authorities say the man opened the door of the pickup, grabbed the driver by the jacket and tried to pull him from the truck.

The driver took off with the man still hanging on to his jacket -- dragging him about 20 yards.

The man remains in jail."

Crazy fool.
