NECN observed an insurance adjustor checking out the cruisers Friday. Martin said they are valued at $40-50,000 apiece when outfitted with radar, computers, a cage, and other gear.
"We'll try to save as much as we can," Sheriff Martin said, showing NECN a vehicle with a roof forced down to just above waist-level. "But as you can see, everything's crushed."
David Sleigh, the defense lawyer for the accused car-crusher, got an extension for his client. Roger Pion now won't have to enter pleas on 14 charges until Tuesday. Judge Howard VanBenthuysen ordered Pion held on $50,000 bail. If he makes bail, VanBenthuysen ordered Pion to stay in Orleans County under the supervision of his father, and ruled that he would not be able to drive vehicles, including tractors.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Martin said he wants folks to not see this incident as some strange novelty, but as a serious case. He said Pion had a loaded gun on him and destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars of public property that more than a dozen small towns with no local police of their own rely on for patrols.
"It's no joke," Martin said. "Somebody's got to pay for it. It affects our insurance. It affects everybody."
Departments from around Vermont have loaned cruisers so Orleans County deputies can stay on the roads, Martin said.
