Court spat erupts between judge and 'drunk' joyriding suspect: 'I'll call Donald Trump if I have to!'

A South Carolina man accused of drunk driving and stealing a patrol car vowed to take his case to President Donald Trump during a fiery spat at his bond hearing.

William Waters allegedly stole the patrol car from the QuikTrip gas station in Spartanburg County on Saturday night while suffering from an apparent mental health crisis.

Waters, 34, appeared before a judge on Monday, facing charges of grand larceny, failure to stop for blue lights and driving while under the influence.

As the judge read the charges out, the suspect repeatedly interrupted, accused the judge of lying and refused to sign any necessary paperwork, WHNS reported.

'Y'all feed me this garbage, feed lies and put this c**p on TV,' Waters told the judge.

The judge ignored his remarks and set his bond at $20,922.

'I don't have no bond,' Waters spat back, before reiterating that he was 'not signing any of the warrants.' The judge, dismissing him again, replied: 'I understand that.'

'I'll contact Donald Trump if I have to,' Waters responded, before being escorted out of the courtroom.

Waters led sheriff's deputies on a chase through three counties before he surrendered himself to police and was arrested.

He was taken to a nearby hospital for an evaluation and later booked into the county jail, WBTV reported.

At least two deputies were injured during the incident, according to police.

One was struck by the open driver's door and dragged along the road when Waters first commandeered the patrol car. The officer was not seriously hurt.

Another was airlifted to a hospital after a deputy's vehicle crashed during the multi-county chase. The officer is expected to make a full recovery.

I doubt his net worth is big enough for Trump to care. If you look at the people Trump pardoned lately, it's a lot of winners who made a fortune and were railroaded by a corrupt system.

It’s interesting that neither judge referenced in this story is named. I wonder if the “call Trump” judge has an Hispanic surname.

Idiot drunk doesn’t know that President Trump doesn’t drink. Never has and never will. Drunk should call Kamalalala or Pelosi.

The significant words in the story. Not an excuse, but the guy is a loony.

His head is the same size and shape of a ripe Honeydew Melon.
