RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Police pulled over a man on a bar stool - after a slow-speed pursuit on one of Reno's busier streets.

It started Monday when an officer saw a man riding the motorized bar stool at 35 mph. He was being followed closely by a woman in a Mustang.

Both driver and rider were pulled over.

The woman told police she had been on the phone with a dispatcher reporting the bar stool stolen.

The owner of the bar stool confirmed that the stool, powered by a small engine, had been taken three weeks earlier.

Jarrett Orcutt, 22, said he had bought it a little over a week ago, thinking it was a toy and added that he had driven it between Reno and nearby Sparks several times. Police estimate its value at more than $1,000.

Orcutt faces Reno charges of possession of stolen property, possession of drug paraphernalia and numerous traffic violations.

Sparks police are handling the stolen vehicle report.

Yeah, the LEOs are all non-PC stereotypes doing a COPS type show. The way they treat civilians is probably closer to the truth than anyone would
want to admit.

Needless to say, I discharged the following morning when he sobered up.

Nice story, but do we really need to hear about your discharges?

[StriperSniper]

was resinated.

Maybe, if that is the case, then he got off easy since even that could be called the illegal substance itself.

Maybe you have some advice. I've had these draining sores on my arms now for about a month. It doesn't bother me much except my wife doesn't like it when I make dinner.

Let me guess, he was just having one for the road!

[glock rocks]

I recon if yer gonna pack drug paraphernalia in Reno, doing it on a stolen 35mph bar stool is one way to do it. Drove it to Sparks and back several times too...

Prolly just testing the waters... see if he could use it to transport some really big stash to tahoe or something.

[bedolido]

Sparks is around 5 or so miles from Reno... good thing he was 'pony'd up to the bar-stool'

[countrydummy]

Oh, never mind, I would fall off that thing and break my neck for sure! lol lol
