Police: Pa. man drives truck into bar, asks owner for drink

PITTSBURGH -- A Pennsylvania man was arrested on Sunday after allegedly driving into a local Pittsburgh bar, reports CBS Pittsburgh.

Police say that Gordon Milligan, 36, hit Wooley Bulley's Bar in New Brighton, Pa., located about 30 miles away from Pittsburgh. Milligan reportedly had a wild night and is currently in the Beaver County jail on $15,000 bond.

Witnesses say when he drove through the building, it shook, but the damage to the bar itself was minimal, according to CBS Pittsburgh.

The owner of the bar then ran after Milligan as he allegedly began backing his truck up. When the bar owner caught up to Milligan, the suspect allegedly asked the bar owner for a drink.

The owner tried to keep Milligan from driving away, while waiting for the police to come, but he allegedly drove off.

But his wild ride was not over yet. Police say Milligan crashed again, into a fence while driving toward New Brighton High School.

Police officials told the CBS Pittsburgh that after being found in the wrecked pickup truck and arrested on multiple charges, Milligan began kicking the rear window.

When they tried to get him to stop, police said that he kicked an officer in the chest.
