      Indeed, I wanted to see how the crazy mounted his bong on the dashboard. Adhesive, self-tapping screws, bolts, etc…on a gryo base?

    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

      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.

            I’m not saying he wasn’t using a bit of himself. I’m just saying a bong is typically used to smoke weed. Given the potency of Fentanyl I doubt he was just casually sprinkling a bit on top for flavor 😝

            I don’t think I ever claimed that one should. WTF know, maybe dude was talking the drugs to him mom so riddled with cancer she can’t live without the biggest pharmaceutical grade hammer we have… maybe not. I’ll be withholding judgement after the last Last Week Tonight.

            Probably not your jam either, but even my conservative parents enjoy watching it. And I swear they listened to NPR for 5 years just to yell at the radio 😂

      97 prior arrests sounds like police harrassment, not illegal behavior.

      logic this through with me. if he’d been convicted, there would be a hell of a lot fewer arrests.

        Under other circumstances, I might agree with you, but the guy built a bong into his dashboard.

        That’s an impressive level of commitment to DUI.

          it’s not convictions, it’s arrests. after i’d been arrested (not convicted) 60 times, fuck obeying the law. the social contract broke.

                  Yeah I was agreeing, but in a fuck the police way. Seriously how did he get to 90 arrests. After 10 they should have had social services there to see why and how they could help. You can’t get to that many arrests without police intentionally fucking up the prosecution to let him go and arrest him again.

          Where in the dash was it built? Maybe our hero is the designated driver with a passion for making sure that passengers riding shotgun never have to be sober.

      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…

    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.

      This whole chase was idiotic. Poor pit maneuver. Chasing suspect through traffic and intersections.

    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.

      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.

        A bit shortsighted no?

        The whole punative system is shit and should be changed rather drastically.
