Cops Chase Semi Truck In "You Might Be A Redneck" Moment

OZARK, Mo. -- The driver of a semi-tractor is charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer after a 20-mile southbound chase, much of it in the northbound lanes of U.S. 65, on Sunday night.  Jesse DeJongh, 18, was arrested early Monday, several hours after officers say he crashed his truck in southern Christian County and fled into the woods.
Greene County sheriff’s deputies started chasing DeJongh’s truck on U.S. 65 after employees of Hood’s Truck Stop near Bois D’Arc said he drove off with about $700 worth of stolen fuel.
This guy has "idiot" all over him.  After taking off with $710 in gas, he is followed by a regular who kept cops up to date (you might be a redneck).  At some point he has a conversation with the truck driver, who says he will go back and pay but doesn't, resulting in a chase down Highway 65.  Which is a really really busy highway for those of you who don't know this area.

For you locals: he then goes off on the Evans Road exit!  For the rest of you: that's the curviest, crappiest, most slanted bit of squirrel path that he could have chosen.  The miracle here is that he didn't kill anyone, himself included.

After a brief run in the woods (you are so a redneck) he was brought in by police.  And we all know the best redneck stories end with a night in the pokey.

Jeff Foxworthy was not on the scene.
