If An Everyday Joe Had Done This

You know I read this and think to myself........ should something happen to this guy?

A Washington County Sheriff's Department cruiser on Monday night "lunged" through the window at AC&T, 21411 Jefferson Boulevard in Smithsburg, Maj. Bob Leatherman said.

Deputy Jeremey Kuhnke, who was operating the cruiser, probably forgot to put the car into park, Leatherman said. As Kuhnke was getting back into the vehicle, he probably hit the gas, causing the vehicle to jump the curb and hit the storefront, Leatherman said.

No one was injured in the accident.

The vehicle caused about $3,000 in damage to two windows, and the sheriff's department is working with its insurance provider to cover the damage, Leatherman said.

Kuhnke has been with the sheriff's department for 1 1/2 years. The department is treating the incident as an accident, Leatherman said.

You know this deputy should be charged with something

1. It says he probably forgot to put the car in park
2. When he got back into the car he probably hit the gas.... & the vehicle jumped the curb and hit the store front???

It is illegal for someone to leave their car running unattended You can be charged or get a ticket if you do it...... I am sure if this had happened to a regular person..... They would have been charged with negligence or something and maybe the charge for leaving the car run as well.
Sorry Deputy YOU DON'T GET A PASS FROM ME!
