Nov. 15--An unidentified man drove a pickup truck through the front door of a Washington County car dealership this morning.

"This is a disgruntled customer, from what I understand," Peters Township police Chief Harry Fruecht said.

Details are sketchy because the man is in custody at St. Clair Hospital and police haven't had a chance to interview him yet.

The man drove a recently purchased Dodge Ram 1500 through the glass and metal doors of Vasko Dodge in Peters Township shortly after 9 a.m. Fruecht said he doesn't yet have the man's name or know the extent of his injuries.

No one else was injured in the incident, he said. It's not clear if the truck was new or used, he said

The dealership's staff declined comment.
