If you're like me, you probably paid more attention to the commercials than the actual game, right? My favorite was the Acura NSX commercial with Jerry Seinfeld. What you saw was good, but here's the extended version! Much funnier. BTW, if you're wondering how much the new NSX will cost... $160,000!!! I'll take two! Darby
55-year-old John Hughes of Butte, Montana got to cross an item off his bucket list, Thursday night . . . by leading police on a high-speed chase.
John was completely sober and had done nothing wrong, but he said he'd always wanted to see what a police chase would be like.
So, at about 3:30 A.M., he found a patrol car and began to tailgate it. After seven blocks, he sped off at 70 miles an hour. As he'd hoped, the cop went after him.
The chase eventually hit 100 miles an hour. Police finally stopped him with spiked "stop sticks" in the road.
They approached the car with guns drawn, and John surrendered. He told them about his lifelong wish and said he, quote, "was having a bad day" and wanted to go for a drive. He was charged with misdemeanor reckless driving while eluding police.
I suppose I shouldn't be shocked about this...but I am. I have a big issue with anyone who drives drunk but this elderly woman also adds Oxycontin to the mix...the goes the wrong way down a highway at speeds up to 100MPH!!!! She looks to be close to 72-79 years old and is incredibly lucky to be alive.
Watch the crazy dashcam video below. And please don't drink and drive...call a cab, a family member, friend or anyone else sober to get home!
This product was made just to be sold in the Skymall catalog . . . and it's kind of brilliant.
Hammacher Schlemmer has created the first-ever suitcase with a BUILT-IN SCOOTER.
So if you're racing to your gate at the airport, instead of running, now you can just pull out the scooter and roll there.
The suitcase is designed to fit into the overhead compartment, and the scooter folds up into the back. When you're riding on it, the extendable handle of the suitcase becomes your handlebars.
Most importanty it is TSA-approved, so you WILL be able to get it through security without getting strange looks. Although you WILL get looks when you're riding a scooter through the airport . . . but at least you'll make your flight, right?
The suitcase is pretty expensive . . . $299.95 before shipping . . . but if you want one, they're in stock and ready for shippment!!
54-year-old Keith Brown of Waynesboro, Virginia, has the unique distinction of being involved in an extremely high-speed chase with the cops . . . and a comically low-speed chase with the cops . . . all in ONE DAY.
Keith is banned from driving because he's a habitual driving offender . . . he's been convicted of everything from hit-and-runs, to drunk driving and speeding. On Monday, cops saw him driving a Toyota sedan and tried to pull him over.
He started a HIGH-SPEED CHASE where he got up to speeds of 50 to 60 miles-an-hour in a 25 zone. Eventually he CRASHED.
And that's when the chase turned LOW-SPEED, and he tried to flee on foot . . . using his WALKER.
The police quickly caught up with him and he was arrested.
He's facing a ton of charges from the chase . . . and another one from last month when he actually managed to successfully get away.
Patricia and Quentin Deshong of Metal Township, Pennsylvania were arrested for vandalizing a car outside a bar two weekends ago.
Police aren't sure WHY the couple got upset with 25-year-old Falon Clark, but they took out their anger on her car.
By the time police arrived, it was covered with dents, and the Deshongs had cracked and broken the windshield and windows.
But that was child's play. The Deshongs hadn't been satisfied with just vandalizing the woman's car, they also tried to BLOW IT UP. In a pretty original way, actually. Stupid, but original. Here's what they did . . .
The Deshongs opened the car's gas cap . . . and stuffed it with TAMPONS. They also went under the hood and opened the oil-fill cap. They stuck tampons in there too . . . then LIT them all on FIRE.
Police found ashes and half burned tampons, figured out what happened, and charged the Deshongs with attempted arson.
They were also charged with criminal mischief, public drunkenness, and theft . . . because Patricia took the car's license plate with her.
No one would say what started the feud, but it may not be over. On her Facebook page, Falon said that she was, quote, "lookin' for some revenge" a few hours after her car was trashed.
It doesn't get any better than criminals accidentally taking down other criminals.
Earlier this week, cops in Hermiston, Oregon spotted 31-year-old Ramel Rodriguez in the passenger seat of a Honda Accord. Ramel had outstanding felony warrants and was wanted for questioning in a car theft from November.
So the cops pulled over the car. The driver got out, Ramel hopped into the driver's seat, and sped off. About three blocks later he ran a red light and crashed into a Volkswagen Jetta.
The driver of that Jetta was 31-year-old Steven Broyles . . . who, coincidentally, was ALSO wanted by the cops on outstanding felony warrants.
Thanks to the crash, the cops were able to arrest BOTH Ramel and Steven. Neither of them was hurt.
Ramel's outstanding warrants were for failure to appear and a parole violation. He's also facing new charges for the chase, for firearm possession, and for endangerment.
Steven's outstanding warrants were on probation violations. He was hit with new charges for driving with a suspended license and without insurance.
