Police in Harrison Township, N.J., were investigating a crash of a minivan into a bank. It was allegedly no accident: they say Timothy Hogan, 31, had driven through the front doors of the bank on purpose — to run over his wife, Tara, who was inside; he narrowly missed also running over his 7-year-old daughter. He took off before police arrived. Several hours later a man walked up to a TV reporter covering the crash and asked, “What’s happening?” That caught the attention of an investigator who recognized the man: it was Timothy Hogan, who in the meantime had changed clothes and shaved. When he saw the officers approaching he screamed his wife was trying to take his money out of the bank. He was charged with aggravated assault; his wife was hospitalized with a leg injury. And his motive? He was apparently angry with his wife for telling him he wasn’t fit to drive because he was under the influence of alcohol or “something else.” (Gloucester County Times) ...Where “something else” may include delusions of grandeur.
