According to Sheriff Ed Graybeal, the Sheriff’s Office will have a vehicle competing in the contest Friday, August 28, 2009.

Although the vehicle is identical to that of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office cruisers, it is a seized Crown Vic that was headed for the scrap yard. Through community donations the Sheriff’s Office was successful in preparing the vehicle with the assistance of inmate labor in painting it from black to white. Credit for the stripping is given to Foster Signs in Jonesborough.

Although rules restrict blue lights from being attached, the Demolition Cruiser is sure to be a target of other drivers during the contest. Lieutenant Randall Wines, a Watch Commander with the Sheriff’s Office will pilot the Number 100 “Demolition Cruiser”. Any contest monies received will be donated to a local charity. The Sheriff encourages everyone to come out and support the “Demolition Cruiser” and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
