The news article leaves out some important details: the kid was doing 90 mph, he was drunk ("He likes to drink beer," says his mom), he has no driver's license ("He likes to drive cars," says his mom), and this is the second time he's been pulled over for DUI.
Oh, and one other thing: he's an illegal alien, brought into this country by his mom, who also is illegal. And she's screaming bloody murder about the whole thing, saying it was the cops' fault!

Not that the story fails to mention that he was drunk or speeding, but that his mom actually testified to the local news reporters that he "likes to drink beer" and "he likes to drive fast"...

Shoulda had an ambulance-chaser alert, here.
Somehow, some deep pockets will be identified as causing this, probably the police or the school system, or some other Taxpayer-funded entity.

At the time he escaped, Rodriguez was sitting in the front passenger seat of the cruiser with his hands handcuffed behind his back Can illegals get the Darwin Award? He definitely deserves one!!

"She said she doesn't know what she will do now without her only son." How about going home? You're neither needed or wanted here.
Also, not to nit-pick, but don't they proofread?
"Gloria Rodriguez said her son would never have intentially jumped..."?

We have a large river that runs right through the center of town (Spokane, WA). People are always jumping in it when chased by the police, presumably to escape, but mostly they just drown.

why was his car pulled over on the bridge? wouldn't that be unsafe, against the officer's training?
if not, then why was the police car parked on the bridge?
something isn't what the reporter wrote.

Seeing as how the guy was drunk out of his mind, I'm guessing it seemed like a good escape idea to him at the time.
I assume your theory is that the cops just cuffed him and threw him over the side, SG.

So, let me get this straight. This is his second offense for DUI, he is ILLEGAL and they didn't do anything to send him and his ILLEGAL mother back the first time?
Got it.
