Shooting Up in the Car

After Martin County, Fla., sheriff’s deputies arrested him, Horace Brown, 23, was taken to the hospital to treat the two gunshot wounds he’d received — deputies shot him after he’d allegedly crashed his car into three sheriff’s vehicles, on purpose. The incident happened when Brown allegedly tried to sell drugs to undercover detectives. When asked why he attempted to run down the detectives, he said, “I didn’t know that was the police. I had no intentions of hitting them.” Police also found crack cocaine in his car. When asked why it was there, Brown replied, “Because I smoke it. Don’t I look like it?” (MS/Palm Beach Post) ...If he doesn’t look like it, he drives like it.
