According to reports, a Utah man was arrested after he intentionally crashed his recently bought car into the storefront of the very dealership he bought the vehicle form.
Sandy Police stated that Michael Murray bought a car from Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne on Monday morning. Hours later, Murray discovered mechanical issues with the car and went back with the expectation of returning the “lemon” of a car. However, when management denied him because the vehicle was sold “as is,” he took justice into his own hands.
Murray threatened to drive his vehicle through the dealership’s front door if they wouldn’t let him return it, and that is exactly what he did.

Wow. A man of his word. Those are far and few in between these days!
Although no one was injured in the incident, the dealership suffered about $10,000 in damages and Murray was booked into jail as he faces charges of felony criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.
I’m not saying the man is right by any means, but I understand. I would be angry if I bought a car that I was made to believe was in good condition, only to find out it wasn’t, and they wouldn’t let me return it.
