A man was arrested after police say he intentionally crashed a car he recently bought into the storefront of a Utah dealership.

According to police, Michael Murray bought a car from Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne on Monday morning in Sandy, Utah. In videos sent to Scripps News Salt Lake City, the car appeared to be a Subaru Outback.

Hours later, Murray, 35, reportedly discovered what he believed were mechanical issues with the car and went back to the dealership in hopes of returning the vehicle, which he called a "lemon." However, Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne management said they would not take the car back as it was sold "as is."

Murray allegedly threatened to drive through the dealership's front door if they wouldn't give him his money back, and then shortly after 4 p.m., he "did exactly that," police said.

An arrest report said there were about seven salesmen near the front door when Murray drove through, but nobody was injured during the incident, although the dealership suffered an estimated $10,000 in damages.

Murray was booked into jail and faces charges of felony criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.

Aylin Hernandez works at the dealership and was grateful she was not there Monday.

"What would've happened?" she wondered. "Who knows it could've been fatal."

"He came back but with a rage... without thinking, he just acted out on rag," she added.

Nearly three years ago, more than a million people watched the viral video of a Utah garbage man pulling an American flag out of a trash can and folding it with respect. Since that moment, Don Gardner's life has definitely changed.

I've never shied away from difficult jobs or dirty jobs," said Gardner. "Somebody's got to do it.

In his 14 years working with Emery County Sanitation, Gardner never thought hed find himself in the spotlight.

When you pull a flag out of the dang garbage can and save it, and don't think anybody's looking and get caught. It's been pretty gratifying, he shared.

After millions viewed Gardner's story on YouTube, he received letters, including one from then-former President Donald Trump. Some of those letter included money in them which he put towards buying himself a new flag and pole.

But Gardner said the greatest thing to come out of his fame is educating the public. During a recent flag ceremony, Gardner led his American Legion post in retiring more than 300 flags they collected.

It's actually helped me to be able to help the community, a little easier because people know what we do, Gardner said.

He also started raising money for local children, veterans, and first responders in need.

The local Huntington community still beams with pride over it's most viral resident.

I think after that people were more conscious about neighbors, the country, our flags, respecting each other, respecting our veterans, and over time it's grown into more respect for our small community," said county commissioner Jordan Leonard.

Leonard added that its champions like Don who lift up small towns.

Life's not easy in small communities, rural communities, energy communities," he said. "There's ups and downs. But I think it's rallying around each other. We have a lot of heart.

Gardner doesnt plan to stop pumping blood into his community any time soon.

I left in the military, figured I'd go see the world, and honestly, I've seen a lot of it and could not wait to come home," he said.
