A wild ride in Elk Grove screeched to an end Thursday after a stolen Dodge Charger led cops on a high-speed chase before the driver, already on probation, gave up in the weirdest way possible.
Cops spotted the hotwired Charger and flipped on the lights, but the guy behind the wheel wasn’t having it. He hit the gas, weaving through neighborhoods in a desperate game of cat-and-mouse. No word yet on whether he plowed into anything, but you know how these joyrides usually go.
The car finally stopped, but that barely solved anything. For over half an hour, officers shouted orders while the dude just sat there, chilling—literally, allegedly puffing on meth like it was no big deal. At one point, he shuffled from the driver’s seat to the passenger side, probably figuring he’d bought himself more time. Nope. Cuffs came out, and game over.
What really stuck with folks, though? The surrender. The guy climbed out with his pants straight-up sagging around his ankles, looking like he’d lost a fight with gravity. Unsurprisingly, the police department’s social media post about it blew up, turning a routine bust into an internet spectacle.
Turns out, this clown was already on probation. Real genius move, huh? Now he’s cooling his heels in custody again, staring down extra penalties because California doesn’t play nice with probation violators.
Cops haven’t dropped the full charges yet, and nobody got hurt—luckily. As for what happens next? Keep an eye on Sacramento County’s records. Odds are, this guy’s legal headaches are only beginning.
