Getting Your Stupid from a Bottle - Police in Maryville, Tennessee, noticed a man driving erratically down U.S. 411 so the lights went on and the officer tried to get the man to pull over.
He did, but just for a moment and then he sped back around and took officers on a high speed chase.
Yahoo!® News has the AP report:
Vowell [the erratic driver] then dialed 911 and reported he was being chased but would not stop until he got to Vonore.
"The dispatcher advised him to stop, telling him, 'You're only making it worse,'" O'Briant [police spokeswoman] said.
Police said that after Vowell struck a mailbox and then rammed a cruiser. With a supervisor's permission, one deputy ended the chase by bumping the truck and sending it off the highway.
Vowell was charged with vehicular assault, drunken driving, felony reckless endangerment and felony evading arrest.
Well, that's the criminal oddity for today.
