Yard Worker Uses Weedwacker To Stop Theft Of His Tools

A guy working on trimming a yard with his weedwacker spotted some thieves stealing a bunch of equipment out of his truck, and when one of the vehicles drove by, he hurled the weedwacker at the car. Police aren't sure how, but it caused one of the thieves to fall out of the car onto the road.

When the thief tried to get up and run, he grabbed his weedwacker and smacked the thief in the head with it, and eventually a neighbor came to help.

At one point, deputies said, the suspects attempted to hit the yard worker with the car and allegedly displayed a firearm.

At about the 1-minute mark of this video, there's an explosion, and then a secondary explosion that sends a maintenance cover flying in the air out of frame just behind the manhole.

And a few blocks from there, a fountain feature was where there isn't supposed to be a fountain feature.
