    Inside the truck officers found a “custom bong device built into the dash of the truck so he could comfortably smoke drugs while driving”. Meth, heroin, and fentanyl were also discovered, as well as the stolen items.

    The driver of the truck had 97 prior arrests. He is facing charges of DUI, eluding, and possession of narcotics. The passenger was turned over to Centralia PD for organized retail theft.

    Goddamn dude

      97 prior arrests sounds like police harrassment, not illegal behavior.

      logic this through with me. if he’d been convicted, there would be a hell of a lot fewer arrests.

        Under other circumstances, I might agree with you, but the guy built a bong into his dashboard.

        That’s an impressive level of commitment to DUI.

          Where in the dash was it built? Maybe our hero is the designated driver with a passion for making sure that passengers riding shotgun never have to be sober.

          it’s not convictions, it’s arrests. after i’d been arrested (not convicted) 60 times, fuck obeying the law. the social contract broke.

      Extremely unresponsible to be driving under the influence of hard drugs. If someone is going to be smoking meth and fentanyl, they should at least have the reason to not be driving.

        I mean… it didn’t say he was smoking anything but weed out of the bong… probably but FFS, how about the 99 priors??? How was this asshole even behind the wheel of a vehicle? This stinks of a CI.

            I don’t think I ever claimed that one should. WTF know, maybe dude was talking the drugs to him mom so riddled with cancer she can’t live without the biggest pharmaceutical grade hammer we have… maybe not. I’ll be withholding judgement after the last Last Week Tonight.

            Probably not your jam either, but even my conservative parents enjoy watching it. And I swear they listened to NPR for 5 years just to yell at the radio 😂

          The article said there was fentanyl, meth, and heroin. I’d guess that he wasn’t just transporting it.

            I’m not saying he wasn’t using a bit of himself. I’m just saying a bong is typically used to smoke weed. Given the potency of Fentanyl I doubt he was just casually sprinkling a bit on top for flavor 😝
