The Flyers are so Hot that Fans are Stealing Delco Forklifts and Doing Donuts in the Parking Lot
This is how you celebrate a three-game point streak. Last Thursday, before Matvei Michkov beat the Senators in OT, a Flyers fan went to a Delco Denny’s, polished off a Grand Slam, stole a forklift, and celebrated a little too hard, via John Paul at 6ABC.com:
A Philadelphia man is facing charges after police say he went on a rampage involving a forklift in Delaware County.
On Thursday around 5:30 p.m., police were called to the Denny’s for a report of a theft involving a man with wet muddy clothes. That man was later identified as 39-year-old William Martin.
According to the criminal complaint obtained by Action News, after Martin left the Denny’s, he went down the street to a warehouse owned by Esstech, where he sprayed fire extinguishers and stole a forklift.
Around 6:11 p.m., Tinicum Township police were called to the Clarion Hotel on Industrial Highway for a report of a crash involving a forklift. A woman claims the man was doing doughnuts, lost control, and slammed the forklift into her Ford Explorer before driving away.
Minutes later, police were called to the Springhill Suites nearby for another crash involving a forklift. The hotel shuttle bus had been rammed, which caused major damage to the vehicle.
Who hasn’t gotten a little pissed off after finding out the $5.99 Grand Slam is now $12.99? Thanks Obama. I can’t blame this guy for wanting to blow off a little steam. Doing donuts on a forklift and spraying fire extinguishers feels like the most freeing experience of all time.
The police report is hilarious, but I never thought the mugshot would absolutely take my breath away:
The odds this guy had a tattoo of the Flyers logo pointing the correct way was going off at 10/1. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s definitely a huge Danny Carcillo guy.
The night didn’t stop there though. He was just getting started.
Imagine going to pick up some Italian Classics at Wawa before the Eagles game and a guy with tattoos to compensate for his receding hairline comes in with a fire extinguisher looking for cigs and Gatorade. How is there no video? –
At 6:15 p.m., Ridley Township police were called to the Wawa on East Chester Pike for a theft. Employees say a man stole Gatorade and cigarettes, threatened people inside with a fire extinguisher, and then drove away on a forklift.
Police found the forklift after it crashed into the Rehobeth Afaan Oromo Church down the street. It caused significant damage to the building, and Martin was found inside. Police said he sprayed a fire extinguisher inside the sanctuary.
I can’t stop laughing at his journey. It’s amazing he was able to do all of this. Were all the Delco cops tailgating at the Linc?

I hope they let him watch the games in the joint this weekend. He deserves to see the guys finally stringing some wins together after the start of the season was abysmal. They probably had to put him in a straight jacket after this goal:

I wonder if they’re keeping him until the Flyers lose. We already saw what he did after a three point win streak. Imagine the damage he’d cause if the Flyers get to six games tonight.
P.S. Notice that he knew not to mess with the Lou Turks. He understands the cultural significance of that place. He’s not a monster.
