GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — In an unusual police pursuit, Gwinnett County officers arrested a man accused of stealing a large construction vehicle and driving it on several roads.

The 38-year-old man is facing charges of criminal trespass, theft by taking, fleeing or attempting to elude, reckless driving, criminal damage to property and obstruction of a law enforcement officer.

Officers were called to a waste management business on Corley Road around 11 a.m. Saturday. According to police, the responding officer learned that a former worker had stolen a yellow front loader and was driving the 75,000-pound equipment on the property.

Hey stop, as it rolls by at less than 5 mph. Could've jumped up on it & up to the door & yanked his ass out. No way of stopping it when you can run faster than it goes, not like it was built like the Killdozer.

I am amazed they mobilized a citizen on another wheel loader to pursue and try to take out the freerider.

He was finally caught after an employee of the facility tracked him down in another frontloader and used it to flip the suspect's vehicle, officials said.

Eddie Sanchez, 38, was arrested. Police learned that Sanchez was fired from the business in September but visited several days before this incident and did something similar, but he never left the facility's property.
