(Clinton, KY - Mar. 7, 2012) - Strong winds rolled the metal roof of the Parkway JewelMart over the top of the building and onto two parked police cars.

A Hickman County Sheriff's deputy and a Clinton City policeman were inside the store when the incident happened. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. Police chief Allan Poole was on the scene soon after it happened. Poole's early appraisal of the Clinton City cruiser was that the damage to the roof, crushing the frame would prove it unfixable. The car, Poole said, has 38,000 miles on it. It also has a new camera and recording system that costs $10,000.
