On Thursday night, Renner, 52, shared two images of his PistenBully snow removal vehicle on hisInstagram Storyas he wrote that the machine is returning to his home.

“The cat get[s] a police escort… Feels likeThe Green Mile!” Renner wrote over a second video, whichshows the vehicle rolling down a paved roadwith a police cruiser in front of it.

Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said in a January press conference that the sheriff’s department hadtaken possession of theHawkeyeactor’s PistenBullyand was analyzing it in order to “rule out any potential mechanical failure of why it may have started to roll.” This was a normal process for any of their investigations, Balaam clarified at the time.
The PistenBully snow groomer began to slide, causing Renner to “exit the vehicle without setting the emergency brake,” and that’s when the machine began to move sideways down a hill and “pulled” the actor “under the left side track” as he attempted to re-enter the vehicle, per a report.
The report also found that the snowplow’s brake light indicator was not working and “mechanical issues may have been a factor in this accident.”
“Although the PistenBully had some mechanical issues, it is believed based on our mechanical inspection that the parking brake would keep the PistenBully from moving forward,” according to the report.
