The moral of this story? Don't ram and run - and expect to get away with it.

At least that's the story for a 47-year-old Provo resident who was heading for Las Vegas Thursday night.The man was packing his car at 1055 W. 1700 North in Provo just after midnight when Utah County Constable Roy Fox pulled in behind him to serve repossession papers on the vehicle.

The man became angry, jumped into his car and began ramming Fox's Ford Ranger until he forced it out of his way enough to get through. He then took off at a high speed heading south.
