Drive it like You Stole it II

Police in Daytona Beach, Fla., tried to pull over a car for a minor traffic infraction. The driver allegedly didn’t care to stop, and rather sped off with an officer in pursuit, going 60 mph in a 25 mph zone, and running a red light — which resulted in him broadsiding a car that had a green light. The miscreant’s car caromed off a light pole and into the front of a barber shop, but that wasn’t the end: he jumped out and ran. Despite his head start, officers caught up to the driver because his loose pants fell to his ankles, tripping him. Officers charge Tobias Smith, 24, was driving with a suspended license, and the plate on his car was taken from a different car. He was jailed on a litany of charges. (RC/Palm Beach Post) ...Yet another young guy who should be belted.
