(CBS4) -- On June 4, 2004, Marvin Heemeyer drove a bulldozer he reinforced with steel plates through the town of Granby. He used the armored bulldozer to destroy or damage at least 12 buildings -- including the town hall, the newspaper, the library, a bank -- along with multiple cars, ultimately causing millions of dollars in damage. Now, Heemeyer and the infamous rampage are the subject of documentary coming to theaters this month.
"TREAD: The True Story of Marvin Heemeyer" will be released in theaters on Feb. 21 and on demand on Feb. 28.
