You Won’t Believe What Local Police Found This Truck Hauling

After responding to a call about an erratic driver, Sullivan County police were flabbergasted by what they found.

According to the Times Herald Record, the Sullivan County Sheriff's office pulled over the Chevy pick up on Big Woods Road on Friday.  What they found was a 15-foot solid-steel tank sticking out of the back of the truck and dragging on the roadway behind it.

Deputy Joseph Calvello told the Record that he saw the tank hanging out the back of the truck and the front tires were almost off the ground. The operator of the vehicle was driving erratically.

According to the a report by the officer, the giant steel tank wasn’t scraping the road when the driver loaded it onto the truck, but as he traveled to a scrap yard in Liberty the bed of the pickup began to buckle under the enormous weight. Eventually the tank collapsed the rear tailgate and was dragging behind the vehicle.

The driver, Douglas Furman from Glen Wild, was arrested after police say he they determined he was driving under the influence of drugs.
