[LincolnMcGrath]

DOVER, N.H. Dec 7, 2004 — It wasn't exactly the perfect getaway vehicle. A man took off on a lawnmower moments after he allegedly threw two Molotov cocktails at his ex-girlfriend's apartment building, police said. He was arrested Saturday night after a brief, slow-speed chase.

Police said the homemade bombs two glass Budweiser bottles filled with gasoline and plugged with rags did not burst into flames. One of them shattered, spilling gas and sending fumes into nearby apartments. Two residents were treated for breathing problems.

At one point during the chase, Coleman "turned around and looked directly at (a police cruiser)," Dover prosecutor George Wattendorf wrote in an affidavit. "Coleman appeared calm as he was smoking a cigarette."
