MOAB, Utah- A tumbleweed rolled down Main Street today, causing a short but intense traffic jam at Main and Center. Spectators watched as the renegade desert weed tipped back and forth in the intersection, almost daring them to approach.
“I could see it from here,” reported Lavernon Bybee, Assistant Maintenance Specialist at the Best Wetern Greenwell Inn on Main. “It was rollin’ on by, and then just stopped. Darndest thing.”
Veteran Moab Police Officer, Craig Shumway, was the first on the scene. “Well, I figured I should cordon off the area, so’s no one would get hurt. Then I called into Headquarters for assistance.”
Upon receiving the call, Chief Navarre immediately petitioned the City Manager to activate the Moab Volunteer Swat Team, and dispatched the Bomb Squad, one Cindy Montague, who doubles as Police Secretary.
“Cindy wasn’t able to disarm it,” Navarre related, “cause it started rolling again and she just couldn’t keep up.”
The fugitive shrub was last seen heading north on the 91 past the Alco Discount Store.
