EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. - A man crashed a stolen car through the front of a Target store, drove around the store for a bit and then drove back out before police were able to arrest him, authorities said. No one was injured.

The driver, Patrick Tosh, 52, of Wilkes-Barre, told police he did not remember anything about how he ended up driving the Subaru Forester, which was listed as stolen, Stroud Area Regional Police Detective Douglas Knowles said.

Tosh drove through glass double doors at the Target in Stroud Township about 11 p.m. Friday, continued through the store, and drove back out another main entrance, police said. There were about 40 employees in the store at the time.

Tosh was arrested in a nearby parking lot a short time later.

Tosh, who was arraigned Saturday morning on charges including burglary, reckless driving, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief, was not driving under the influence and he had no known history of mental illness, Knowles said.

Employees said the store would be closed for several days while the damage is repaired.
 
Ouch...sounds like he may have had amnesia or drug induced issue going on with him. :dunno: Still, overall, he did something wrong and could've injured people that way.
 
Sure this wasn't a 'drive-thru shopping'?! :squint: Poor crazy man...now his insurance is gonna go sky-high among other things he will have to face with!
 
This reminds me of what happened a few years ago where this old man drove through a crowd running over them and killing a few. They let him go cuz it was an accident. *cough-BULLSHIT-ing*
