Police say that a "white male driving a silver 2002 Toyota Camry drove through the exit side of the gate on the Highway 183 side of the facility," according to information obtained by Deputies from the Uniform Patrol Bureau.

"After the vehicle struck the pop-up barricades that security at the plant activated, the driver backed the vehicle up and proceeded down a dirt road, where Duke Energy security blocked the vehicle in, according to Deputies. The driver then drove through a fence after attempting to hit the security officers," a press release from the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office read.

[The car ultimately made it back to the highway, but police have a license plate number]

I have personal connections to that plant. This moron is lucky he didn't get any further into that place as the security there has been waiting on him, or someone as daft as him, to make their days less mundane for decades.
