NEWPORT, Vt. -

The Newport man accused of crushing several police vehicles with a huge tractor will be released from prison Thursday morning.

Roger Pion posted $50,000 bail two weeks ago, but has been in prison serving time for a previous disorderly conduct conviction.

Pion will be released into his father's custody. According to court imposed conditions, he will be allowed to work for his father's custom cropping business. He cannot drive motor vehicles, but his lawyer says it is not clear if those rules include the operation of a farm tractor.
