Most of us choose to drink responsibly. There are some who slip up and sway with the whims of alcohol and in the process end up doing some ridiculous things. Like this drunk man who thought stealing a police car was a great idea.??
The incident took place in Colorado, US, where a man allegedly stole a police patrol car while intoxicated and then attended a domestic violence call before leading officers on a high-speed chase.
Jeremiah James Taylor, 33, was then arrested and now faces eight charges, including aggravated motor vehicle theft, after the incident on Monday morning, KDVR News reported.?
It all began when Taylor, who was drunk out of his wits, allegedly broke into an unstaffed Park County Sheriff's substation and stole a police patrol car.?
If that wasn't enough, he even answered a domestic violence call and went to the location just before 3:30 a.m local time. The call was broadcast on the Teller County police channel.?
Residents told?KDVR?that Taylor walked up to them, appearing drunk, identified himself as a deputy, and asked: "Where's the old man that's going to shoot someone?"??
When police arrived at the scene around 10 minutes later, Taylor took off in the stolen car. He was then ordered to stop by the police.?
Instead, he's alleged to have?sped off, hitting speeds of up to 110 mph, and broke several traffic laws during the chase.
Taylor then crashed and ran into the woods. The deputies?found Taylor in a bush, and following a confrontation, tasered him.
He was reportedly hospitalised with self-inflicted knife wounds and has since been charged.
Taylor has been charged with aggravated motor vehicle theft, vehicular eluding, impersonating a peace officer, obstruction, resisting arrest, reckless endangerment, second-degree burglary and reckless driving.??
