From "The Wichita Eagle":

The man who drove his car through City Hall last year was sentenced Wednesday to more than 10 years in prison.

Marcus Johnson, 33, faces 122 months of incarceration after crashing through a set of glass doors at City Hall in January 2008 and continuing through the building before slamming into the west wall of the parking garage.

His sentence includes time for convictions of criminal damage to property and two counts of criminal threats linked to the crash into City Hall, and one count of battery of a law enforcement officer later at the Sedgwick County Jail .

Authorities said Johnson became angered when a police officer told him to turn down the music in his car while he was parked at a south Wichita convenience store early on the morning of Jan. 7, 2008.

Johnson drove downtown, turned onto Main and then drove up a ramp into City Hall at an estimated 45 miles an hour.

The incident caused about $200,000 in damage and prompted the installation of temporary traffic barriers around the perimeter of the building grounds.

Permanent security measures for the grounds are scheduled to be implemented later this year.

Dude needed back on the inside where he'll be taken care of by the tax-payers at a yearly price tag of anywhere from 16,500.00 to 27,000.00(depending on his medical and dental needs of course)...

go figure...

it was kinda wierd how calm most of the people in the video were as the car was driving through the building...

one might wonder if it wasn't really a staged event to precipitate a good remodeling job for Wichita City Hall(you know, remodeling that the voters had just voted DOWN)...

hmmm....
