Staplerfahrer Klaus, call your office, please.

A Fort Worth man remained in custody Tuesday on at least five charges after he climbed aboard a forklift and led police on a chase that reached 16 mph and ended on Interstate 30.

The gentleman is charged with stealing the forklift (duh), drinking while driving (and that should be pretty easy to prove, since he’s also charged with throwing beer bottles at traffic), evading police, and…aggravated assault. Aggravated assault? Does that mean that he…tried to kill someone with a forklift?

Also, it is apparently not a good idea to follow a police chase and film it with your iPhone. Important safety tip there, guys.

(Subject line hattip.)
