A witness videotaped the chase and then posted it to YouTube. He and his roommate had stopped for gas on University Drive when they saw the forklift go by.
Nathan Lowery said he was stunned as he watched the shirtless suspect raise and lower the forks. It looked like the man was trying to antagonize police, he said. “When we passed him, the guy was standing up chugging a beer and threw it at the cop car behind him,” Lowery said.
Police finally arrested 43-year-old Timothy Raines on Interstate 30. He was charged with a list of crimes including theft, aggravated assault on a peace officer and driving while intoxicated.

I watched one of those driving along with its forks raised to full extension suddenly fall over flat on its face when it hit a tiny bump in the road and it suddenly became top heavy. The driver seemed most embarrassed and they had to call another fork lift to push the first right way up.
