Man Claims 'Trump Bulldozer Bible Prophecy' As He Drives Toward Omaha Protest

PLATTSMOUTH – A Plattsmouth man, who warned police to stay away as he drove a bulldozer to Omaha, called county dispatchers to identify himself as the 'Trump Bulldozer Bible Prophecy,' according to court documents.

An arrest affidavit says 39-year-old Chad Thiessen called a 911 dispatcher complaining of media inaccuracies following the 9/11 terror attacks and saying he wanted what he was doing correctly explained.

Affidavit: “I’m letting you know I going to be coming through town in a little bit on a bulldozer out of Murray. Just so you know I am the Trump Bulldozer Bible Prophecy.”

Affidavit: “I’m telling you dude stay the (omitted) away from me…I’ve got a megaphone. I’ve got a (omitted) bulldozer. The American public is gonna know that you can’t be praying in secret while people are burning alive.”

 

 

 “I’m pushing everyone out of the way.”

 

 

The affidavit says Thiessen told the dispatcher to have the bulldozer owner call him. He said the owner would not want to press charges against him once he learned the information Thiessen would soon reveal.

A Cass County sheriff’s deputy attempted a traffic stop of the bulldozer near Highway 75 and Church Road, but reports that the bulldozer turned away whenever a patrol vehicle approached.

The bulldozer went through fields toward the end of a runway at the Plattsmouth Municipal Airport with deputies in pursuit.

 

The bulldozer nearly got stuck on railroad tracks, but continued south --  in the opposite direction of Omaha -- until officials convinced him to stop in a field.

The contractor Graham Builds reported that the 2016 Cat model 963K had been stolen.

Thiessen had modified the cab with spray foam and wood reinforcements.

Officials report damage to the railroad tracks and taxiway and runway at the airport.

The affidavit also says deputies recovered items Thiessen had dropped in the field from the bulldozer, including a large metal and foam helmet and large gas canister. A homemade knife with knuckles taped on the handle was also found.

Thiessen is scheduled for preliminary hearing July 7 on charges of theft, possession of a deadly weapon and flight to avoid arrest.
