Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A Powell man is facing charges after police say he reportedly rammed his car into the Augusta Quarry gate to leave after it had been locked.

According to a witness statement provided in a police report, 28-year-old Christyan Thompson appeared to be ‘very drunk’ and wanted to drive his vehicle out of the lot.

That witness says he observed Thompson get into a Honda Accord with body damage and proceed to ram the gate from the inside. The witness also handed over three videos of Thompson to police, in which he admitted to ramming the gate at around 30 mph to get through.

Police charged Thompson with vandalism. The city’s quarry coordinator says the gate will cost over $20,000 to replace.
