Don’t Mess with a Browns Fan

When a suspected vehicle thief showed up in an allegedly stolen truck, the owner of McMahan’s Wrecking in Cleveland, Ohio, took action. “I had been looking for this guy for weeks,” said owner Donnie McMahan. “The police always come by to let us know who to be on the lookout for.” McMahan called the police and went outside to stall him. When it looked like the suspect was going to drive off, McMahan ordered an employee to bring a forklift behind the truck and lift its rear wheels off the ground. “The wheels were just spinning away,” McMahan said.
