A dramatic video showing a Utah man crashing his car into a showroom after his return request was denied has gone viral. Michael Murray, 35, purchased what he believed to be a Subaru Outback from Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne on Monday, as reported by news.com.au.

However, after being dissatisfied with the vehicle, he returned to the dealership demanding a refund. According to a police statement, the dealership had sold the car “as is” and refused to accept the return.

The viral footage captures Murray driving his new car through the glass door of the showroom, shattering everything in his path. The video also shows staff members running to safety. “Call the cops,” one of them can be heard saying. Murrah then hurls abuse at the staff and walks away.

In a post, X user Collin Rugg shared the video and wrote, “The man told the dealership that he would drive the car through the front door of the dealership if they didn’t let him return it. They told him that it was sold “as-is.” The man did exactly what he promised and drove the car through the front door. He was arrested on charges of felony criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.”
