Suspect with bong built into his car dashboard is arrested for the 98th time
www.independent.co.uk
external-link
A suspect who had installed a bong into the dashboard of his car was arrested for the 98th time by officers following a high speed chase. Dashcam footage shared by Thurston County Sherriff Derek Sanders on Monday (23 March) shows officers chasing a vehicle through Down Olympia, Washington after they received reports that a pair of organized retail theft suspects had just fled a store. After a high speed pursuit, which was then called off by officers due to the reckless driving of the fleeing motorist, officers eventually located the two suspects and their truck. 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.

      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 😝

      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.

                  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.

      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.
