A Salt Lake City, Utah, man is in jail after stealing an excavator from a construction site and driving it about a mile before digging up the ground near a grocery store. Witnesses called 911 around noon on Saturday to report a man “randomly” digging in the grass strip and sidewalk outside the grocery store. In the process, police say he hit a water line and ripped out newly-installed fiber optic lines. The total cost of damages to the city from the incident is currently totaled at over $40,500.
