Trucker in jail for holding weigh station employees hostage at knife-point

Quote:

DENVER — Two employees of a port-of-entry weigh station at Fort Collins, Colo., north of Denver, were briefly held hostage by a knife-wielding truck driver, the Denver Post reports.

The trucker, identified in the story as Samuel Ervin Brown, 49, of Columbia, S.C., reportedly took the two men hostage about 9:40 a.m. Tuesday after he was issued a citation and ordered to park his truck.

According to Fort Collins police, Brown drove for Colonial Freight Systems, which is located in Knoxville, Tenn., according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Web site.

According to Mark Couch, a spokesman for the Colorado Department of Revenue, a possible reason for the citation and order to park the vehicle was that Brown was out of hours. The Department of Revenue operates the port-of-entry weigh stations and includes the division of Motor Vehicles.

uh, no. I expect this brotha will be spending some time in the gray bar motel. and I'd like to see him get another job (driving or otherwise) with his violent criminal record.

I guess this will make for another state to want their DOT employees to carry arms.
