SUV Joyriding INSIDE the mall

From NBC in Augusta, Georgia.
A man drives his SUV through the Augusta Mall like he was driving on the street!

That driver is in jail tonight charged with several serious crimes, including DUI.

"He drove through locked glass doors. Continued through the mall and made a left turn and proceeded toward where the new food court is. When he gets to the new food court, the vehicle turns right. The vehicle then drives through those glass doors and exits the mall," Lt. Tony Walden of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office said.

Stephen Lowe is the man who investigators say was behind the wheel of the SUV.

A day after the joy ride and destruction, plywood hangs where doors once stood.

"He never stopped. He drove in through the side and came out the other side. He never stopped," Lt. Walden said.

And after he exited the mall, security cornered him waiting for Richmond County deputies to arrive. "When the deputy did try to take him into custody, he did resist arrest," Lt. Walden said.

The surveillance tape shows a deputy patting the man down. He appears agitated, then out of nowhere, he attacks the deputy. Deputies then used pepper spray and a baton to subdue the man.

"I've been in this business a long time. I've seen cars drive through businesses before, but it's usually to commit a burglary. This was just something I can't explain why he did it," Lt. Walden said.
