Man Found With 40-Foot Light Pole Strapped To Minivan

A man in south Florida said the bad economy forced him to commit a bizarre crime.

When Miami police pulled over 42-year-old Elio Valero, he had a 40-foot light pole strapped to the top of his minivan. He happened to be in front of a scrap yard.

Valero told police that times are hard and people need to do what they have to do to survive.
