:!: It was a definitely low-tech, low-speed attack, police say.
Steven W. Coleman, 37, allegedly threw two Molotov cocktails made from Budweiser beer bottles, gasoline and rags at his ex-girlfriend's house Saturday night, according to Foster's Daily Democrat newspaper of Dover, N.H.
Neither bomb exploded — the rags never caught fire, a crucial part of making a Molotov cocktail work — but the gas fumes stank up the street so badly that two neighbors had to go the hospital.
Dover police quickly showed up to find Coleman calmly smoking a cigarette nearby, a third beer bottle in his jacket pocket.
A police cruiser flipped on its lights — and Coleman gunned the engine of his riding lawn mower.
The leisurely chase wound over several streets of the New Hampshire town, until a second cruiser blocked off the lawn mower's escape.
In addition to the third bottle — the report didn't specify whether it held gasoline or the original Budweiser — Coleman was found to be wearing rubber gloves and carrying a book of matches.
