The truck belonged to C Davies Enterprises and was carrying broken concrete. Police said it struck and damaged a utility pole, and allege that Thompson resisted arrest and was subdued with a taser. The company's foreman told KBZK that the truck's loss affected its small operation.
KBZK reported that Thompson faced felony theft, criminal endangerment and resisting-arrest charges, and that the investigation remained ongoing. The allegations are not convictions; the report does not give a court outcome.
