I am pissed off that I watched that video, and they didn’t show the damn dash bong.
My friend’s dad had a kegerator built into his truck. Tap was in the center console.
He’s either dead or still driving tow trucks.
Reminds me of a story I heard like 20-30 years ago. Some German dude wrecked his Merc on the autobahn… the cops get there and he just wreaks of schnapps but they find no bottles, no means of consumption. The car gets towed to a police station to be examined and they found that he had diverted the window washing tank into the cabin, dude wants a pug of schnapps and he hits his window washer button.
Inside the truck officers found a “custom bong device built into the dash of the truck so he could comfortably smoke drugs while driving”. Meth, heroin, and fentanyl were also discovered, as well as the stolen items.
The driver of the truck had 97 prior arrests. He is facing charges of DUI, eluding, and possession of narcotics. The passenger was turned over to Centralia PD for organized retail theft.
Goddamn dude
So close to 100! Wonder what the Guinness World Record is?
Extremely unresponsible to be driving under the influence of hard drugs. If someone is going to be smoking meth and fentanyl, they should at least have the reason to not be driving.
I mean… it didn’t say he was smoking anything but weed out of the bong… probably but FFS, how about the 99 priors??? How was this asshole even behind the wheel of a vehicle? This stinks of a CI.
The article said there was fentanyl, meth, and heroin. I’d guess that he wasn’t just transporting it.
A high speed chase, or a high speed chase?
Also: wtf was with the pit maneuver when oncoming traffic was like less than a 100 feet ahead? Dumbass shit.
This whole chase was idiotic. Poor pit maneuver. Chasing suspect through traffic and intersections.
Dumbass cop was about to pitt maneuver this truck into an innocent car.
Yeah, high speed chases are monumentally stupid. Just use the radio to set up a road block.
Or, as is commonly done elsewhere, get their plates and a photo, and drop by their house later (unless they’re an active threat to public safety of course).
This is literally the SOP in a lot of other countries: You don’t chase someone in a vehicle unless you absolutely have to. You rather just identify them and apprehend them at a later point.
Haha! You fell into the trap of my nuclear powered hyper bike! I never have to stop! Bwahahaha! Man, I gotta take a dump tho, fr.
Thank god I am not the only one to immediately catch that. What that pig attempted was FUCKING DANGEROUS.
And then another pig on the radio is heard giving clear instructions to not attempt unless below 70(mph). Still with plenty of other vehicles on the roads…
How else you going to live out your badass road warrior fantasies??
Fucken dunce…
But, but, I need a photo of this performance mod…
pics or it didn’t happen
Here’s the video, but sadly it doesn’t show the inside of the truck.

“high” speed chase indeed
What if, hear me out, you confiscated the car at any of the previous 95 stops?
Oh yeah this is America so it will make it impossible for you to live… You know what, in that scenario dash bong seems totally reasonable.
95 arrests, not 95 stops
Somehow, we manage to have the problem of assholes like this racking up dozens upon dozens of priors with (obviously) ineffective punishment and would-be productive citizens languishing with long prison sentences for trivial offenses at the same time.
Why was he let go with so many priors?
Ethical catch and release
What? Is he too small?
Why should he be locked up just because of a bunch of stupid laws?
Maybe I’m just insane, but I think that laws making it illegal to be on meth while driving are reasonable. That’s just me though.
Because the law is still valid? If you consider the law stupid, do something against it.
I personally don’t consider it stupid to forbid driving under influence, regardless of the means.
Because the law is still valid?
Are you asking me or telling me? Because either way no it isn’t. Laws are bullshit and you should break them just on principle.
Sorry, all of them? You don’t think that sometimes, it’s good for some things to not be allowed?
Arrested != convicted
If someone managed to get arrested so many times without getting a conviction the one or other time, it would be a cause for a harrasment claim against the police.
Every layer of the legal system is broken, and lots of people benefit from not fixing it.
99th time’s the charm!
No he’s going out rolls over to zero after one hundred
You must appreciate his persistence.
Paywall BTW.
He should put that on his resume
@10s did the cop try to pit him off an overpass?
Hell ya. Say yes to drugs, be crime, do gay, ACAB.
You should definitely NOT read the story, because if you do, you’ll feel really fucking stupid for saying that.
I did read the story. He sounds like a man who knows how to have a good time. And he was helping someone shoplift, so that’s mutual aid.
Fuck cops, fuck corporations, fuck the law.
