Suspect arrested at gunpoint after attacking police SUV with heavy machinery in Nebraska
A man was arrested after he used a skid loader to damage storefronts and vehicles and then rammed a police cruiser in Nebraska this week, authorities say.
The shocking incident unfolded at around 2:30 p.m. on Sunday in the capital city of Lincoln.
Authorities were alerted about a suspect rampaging in a Bobcat near a Home Depot and other businesses.
Videos captured by witnesses and surveillance cameras have been circulating on social media.

The suspect can be seen slamming the skid loader into a police SUV multiple times in a snowy parking lot at the Home Depot.
A Lincoln Police Department (LPD) officer can be seen exiting the damaged cruiser and aiming his service weapon at the suspect, who then exited the machine and surrendered without further incident.
Additional photos and videos allegedly taken during and after the melee indicate the suspect may have slammed into the entrance of a convenience store, destroyed a drive-up ATM machine, and possibly even smashed cars outside of a Taco Bell.

“36-year-old Samuel Peyrot of Lincoln was arrested for second-degree assault on an officer, second-degree assault and criminal mischief. He will be booked in the Lancaster County Jail,” LPD explained in a statement.
“Multiple vehicles were damaged, and one man inside a damaged truck had minor injuries. The suspect also damaged the exterior of two nearby businesses with the skid loader.”
The skid loader belonged to Peyrot’s employer and he had transported it to a gas station before the violent frenzy, LPD says.
An investigation is ongoing.
