In an extremely bizarre series of events, a US man has gone on a rampage that involved him wearing a dress, stealing a school bus, leading police on a high speed chase and ending the day by driving a stolen front-end loader directly through the home he shared with his estranged wife. Following so far? Andrew S. Loudon, 39, from Washington state, began the day by stealing a school bus from a company called Osprey Rafting wearing only a yellow dress, with employees witnessing the theft and reporting it to local police. Police began pursuit of the vehicle but due to new laws in the specific district, they were obliged to call off the chase as laws now prohibit officers from chasing vehicles unless ‘there is probably cause that a serious felony occurred’ as reported by Fox News.

Images show the man significantly damaged the property in Chelewah with the construction machinery, flipping over a car but fortunately his wife got a tip off about him turning up and was not in the property at the time of destruction. As reported by Fox News, Authorities said Loudon was put in custody but released from Western State Hospital, a psychiatric facility pending a court appearance. Loudon was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle, first-degree malicious mischief/domestic violence and attempting to elude a police vehicle. It’s not yet clear why the 39-year-old decided to wear a dress for the heist - but it certainly adds another level to the bizarre story.
