Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gainesville Police Department officers have one suspect in custody after he stole a large excavator, drove it around, took out power poles, and then drove through the wall of the Walmart at 2900 SW 42nd Street.
I guess it wasn’t an impenetrable “Wal”mart.
If he’s looking for work, can he work on City Hall?
Well come to Gainesville Florida
Just saying
Everyone should be forgiven,it’s free🤷♀️Just saying
“Go to America, have fun, do what every you want, you won’t have to go back to jail”
Homeless BUM?
Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall!
Maybe Mexico can pay for it
Nothing is known about this suspect?
Suspect is Jesse Charles Smith, 47 according to other news sources. He hotwired the vehicle.
Wonder why it took until almost 6 am to get him booked????
WTF are they leaving keys in those tractors and cranes too now?
We don’t leave keys in them. Most equipment has universal keys that fit all similar equipment. Newer equipment has an electronic key code to stop stuff like this.
I work at this Walmart, took out an entire section of windows in the Auto Department.
Walmart needs ARMED security to quickly put down some of those “shoppers”.
1 person out of 100,000 people visiting this location no
No armed security
MAGA fan practicing for when Trump is in jail?…..just kidding when I was in high school, one of my friends stole a golf cart from the UF golf course and led UPD on a slow chase across campus
It’s so awesome to see that Trump continues to live rent free in the minds of morons everywhere. Congrats, lol
You shouldn’t call yourself a moron, you are more than that. Also he doesn’t live rent free in my head it was just a joke. I couldn’t care any less about him. I didn’t like him before he ran for president. He is just a typical silver spoon POS. Never did one day of hard work in his life
Biden or Trump?
both
The irony of you saying that with that user name
In retaliation of the self check out isles.
So true, well said
That dude had to be higher than our GRU bills. But Walmart never deserve sympathy.
X employee maybe. 😂🤣😅👻driving up operations costs….idiot
Walk on
Crazy actions this individual 🤪 took.
We call him THE BUTLER BASHER
Power poles a coincidence? I think not. When the GRU bill usurps a good mans crack habit… somethings gonna snap.
9/11/23 never forget. THE BUTLER BASHER.
Probably a loyal Publix employee.
