A joy ride -- and crash -- in a $100,000 tanker truck landed 34-year-old Patrick James Fisher in jail late Wednesday .

Office Katie Flood said Lincoln police think Fisher, a transient, took the Mack transport truck from the city’s wastewater treatment plant and plowed it into a chain-link fence.

Also missing from the plant at 2400 Theresa St. are a humidor and $100 worth of cigars. Flood said a city employee was storing them there.

Employees noticed the humidor and truck were missing Thursday morning and found the truck smashed against a chain-link fence with a pole through its windshield, Flood said.

They found Fisher, the humidor and cigars in the truck’s cab and told police he appeared to be drunk, tried to fight them and ran away, Flood said.

Officers arrested Fisher on suspicion of burglary, auto theft, criminal mischief, driving under the influence and refusing to take a chemical test.
