NORTH PATCHOGUE, N.Y. - A police chase ended when a Long Island motorist drove into a backyard pond and tried to smoke a crack pipe just before his car sank, police said.
Officers tried to stop Yasyn Abdul-Mattin, 32, after seeing him driving erratically at about 12:16 a.m. Friday, Suffolk County Police said.
Instead of pulling over, Abdul-Mattin took off and went up a private driveway, continuing into a backyard pond, police said in a news release.
Police said Abdul-Mattin refused to get out of the car and tried to light a crack pipe instead. Just before the car sank, he climbed out a rear window that an officer had broken, police said.
Police said they were charging Abdul-Mattin, of Smithtown, with driving while impaired by drugs and several traffic violations.
You smokin this morn pal?
Yeah I think I'll do that in my pond.
Deport the stupid SOB! Just joking - he's probably a citizen already, unfortunately.
Fla. motorist arrested near Williamsburg on drug, assault charges. (Cocaine user freaks out )
Running from the cops then taking a dip in someones pond while in the air-conditioned comfort of your own car before lighting up for a buzz on a crack pipe!
Sure sure..blah blah legalize, yadda yadda.
Then the non-drug using moron winds up with this guy in their back yard or house, in his car, lighting up!
This story is fuuuuuuuunnnnny.
If you're already on your way to jail, you might as well just fire the last rock up...
Just damn....
Why do you think they call it dope?
Abdul thought he was in the desert and headed for water..
Ha, we had a female who was commiting armed robberies to support her crack cocaine habit. A warrant was issued for her arrest and the guys went to her house to serve it. They found her in the closet smoking her last rock.
He could have just sat under a tree and put a big box over his head like they used to do at The Tree in Opa-Locka (Miami)
...and smoked away unmolested
LOL Isn't that the truth!
LOL! Did They get her for possession?
I guess she, and the guys who arrested her all got a good laugh out of it.
I hate it when the authorities thwart the natural evolutionary process.
hehe!
