A 30-year-old guy named Octavio Delasuaree got pulled over in Wayne, New Jersey last week. He cut across a lane to make an exit on the highway, and cut off a COP. (Wayne is just outside New York City.)
Which was pretty dumb for MULTIPLE reasons . . . he’s also a convicted felon who’s not allowed to have firearms, and had a loaded GUN in the car. But somehow, that WASN’T the dumbest part of it.
When the cop walked up to his car, he noticed that Octavio’s hands were shaking . . . and his nose and mouth were covered in COCAINE. But when he asked him about it, Octavio claimed it wasn’t drugs . . . it was because he’d just eaten a powdered DONUT.
Not surprisingly, the cop didn’t buy it . . . shocking, I know. He also found 17 Oxycodone pills in the car.
So Octavio’s facing charges for unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of hollow-point bullets, possession of cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
35-year-old Erik Polite and 34-year-old Leeshawn Baker were driving through Rockingham, Vermont around 1:00 A.M. on Sunday, and got pulled over after a cop clocked them driving 106 miles an hour.
It turned out Erik was drunk, so the cop put him in his cruiser and started questioning him. Which is when Leeshawn decided to get into the driver’s seat of Erik’s car for some reason.
He ended up putting it in reverse . . . crossed two lanes of traffic . . . and almost plowed into the squad car.
The only reason he didn’t is because the cop saw him coming, and backed up before they hit. Then he got out and arrested HIM for drunk driving too.
He also found cocaine in Erik’s pocket, and 79 Oxycodone pills, 50 Percocet pills, and marijuana inside the car.
Both of them are facing DUI and drug charges.
