- 7 months ago
A man identified as 34-year-old John Hargreaves intentionally crashed his car into the Independence Township Police Department headquarters in Warren County, North Jersey, all while playing Guns N' Roses on the stereo. Newly released footage captures this bizarre event that occurred last week.
Prosecutors revealed that earlier on the same day, the driver had also crashed his car into a residence. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in either incident, although at least one officer narrowly escaped being struck when Hargreaves, hailing from Belvidere, New Jersey, drove his SUV into the police station.
During the crash, Hargreaves had reportedly been playing "Welcome to the Jungle" by the rock band Guns N' Roses. Video footage shows him raising his hands in what appears to be a celebration through the sunroof of his SUV. However, he is promptly handcuffed by two police officers.
As a result of the September 20 incident, Hargreaves is now facing a slew of charges, including first-degree terrorism, second-degree causing widespread injury or damage, burglary, criminal mischief, harassment, aggravated assault, and weapons offenses, according to Warren County Prosecutor James Pfeiffer.
