According to the Coffee City Police Department, Donald Burns was driving a Nissan pickup that crashed into two vehicles in the parking lot, missing several propane tanks by a few feet.
Burns had defecated himself and he had trail of feces around his vehicle, according to police. The crash also knocked one of the cars into the wall of the store and caused some merchandise to fall off the shelf.
Burns had been driving on State Highway 155 at a high speed before striking the other cars, police said.
