No, the prepositional phrase at the end of the headline is
not a misplaced modifier.

Tue, Jun 15 2010
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German student created a major traffic jam in Bavaria after making a rude gesture at a group of Hell's Angels motorcycle gang members, hurling a puppy at them and then escaping on a stolen bulldozer.
German police said on Monday that after making his getaway from the Hell's Angels club, the 26-year-old dumped the bulldozer, causing a 5 km (3 miles) traffic jam near the southern town of Allershausen, local police said. He then fled to his home nearby where he was apprehended by the police.
"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell's Angels is currently unclear," said a spokesman for local police, adding that the student had lately been suffering from depression.
The puppy was now in safe hands, the spokesman added.

This happens more than you might think. Just the other day I got in an altercation with some of the Latin Kings, and I had to use my .308 Kitten rifle (affectionately known as "The Litterer" by its devotees). Then I drove off in a crane. Heavy construction equipment makes the best getaway cars, as we all know.
At least they recovered the ammo.
