A bit of fun in the Pacific Northwest

Port Angeles is a medium-sized city on the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula. I got my Shiloh Shepherd from a breeder there. Went out there for an auction last year and it is the gateway to Hurricane Ridge -- gorgeous photography. Port Angeles is also home to a Mr. Barry Alan Swegle From the Peninsula News:
Bulldozer rampage near Port Angeles destroys homes, cars
Neighbors, family members and friends Saturday were picking up the pieces of homes and other property strewn across a Gales Addition neighborhood after a nearly lifelong resident of the area allegedly cut a swath of destruction through the area with a logging bulldozer Friday.

The estimated 10-minute rampage, allegedly induced by a long-simmering property-line dispute, damaged four homes, a pickup truck, a boat and multiple sheds and other outbuildings, in addition to toppling a Clallam County Public Utility District power pole, knocking out power to an estimated thousands at about noon Friday.

�It's just unbelievable,� said 74-year-old Dan Davis, whose two houses were torn up.

Authorities said Davis' neighbor, Barry Alan Swegle � who lived on North Davis Street � did the damage because he was angry with his neighbors, especially Davis.
Swegle didn't rack up quite the damage that Marvin John Heemeyer did but it was enough to put him away for a while. Posted by DaveH at May 12, 2013 12:56 PM
