A Pennsylvania man caused more than $14,000 of damage to several other vehicles when he took a dare to do a "doughnut" with his pick-up truck in a bar car park.

Brett Whitmire's truck kicked up damaging stones as it spun in a tight circle in the car park of the Beer Garden in Washington Township.

Butler County prosecutors said they are willing to drop a felony criminal mischief charge if Whitmire, 35, of Butler, pays for the damage.

Whitmire was arraigned by video as he is in a state prison on a parole violation. His lawyer called the incident a "mistake", adding that criminal mischief requires prosecutors to prove the damage was intentional, not just an accident.
