KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) - Two Kingsport men learned that an older Honda Accord didn't have the juice to drag an ATM machine from a drug store in a burglary attempt, police said.
Pablo Ibanez and Keith Tester are accused of breaking a window at a Walgreens pharmacy and trying to use a logging chain to pull the machine outside early Sunday morning.
They were found at their apartment after a witness identified the car used in the unsuccessful attempt.
Police said Ibanez confessed to the crime and also took responsibility for a separate burglary earlier this month. He was charged with two counts of burglary, theft and attempted theft.
Tester was charged with burglary and theft.
