If he had no arms or legs and was lying in the ditch, you could call him Phil. But when he's lying in a pile of leaves, you call him Russel.

Was he driving a stick? Then I’d really be impressed. And he was on the phone the whole time without a headset.

According to court records, Wiley has stolen a car, kicked a state trooper and attacked his wife headfirst. He is awaiting trial on separate drug and illegal-driving charges. He faces up to five years in prison.
I'm 'stumped' as to why he's not in jail already...

If he had no arms or legs and was lying in the ditch, you could call him Phil. Or in the swimming pool...."Bob."
Or at a baseball sandlot..."First Base."

The best attorney couldn't have helped this guy if he would have been caught...he didn't have a leg to stand on.

"According to court records, Wiley has stolen a car, kicked a state trooper and attacked his wife headfirst. He is awaiting trial on separate drug and illegal-driving charges. He faces up to five years in prison.
Most Ford Explorers have automatic transmissions, though several people say Wiley is perfectly competent with a stick shift."
He kicked a trooper? He only has one leg!
