An interesting police chase took place last week near the town of Dussen Amsterdam last week.
A Dutch farmer couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched a car drive through his corn fields only to be joined by two police vehicles in hot pursuit. A helicopter also joined in the chase.
The drive of the car was under the influence of cocaine as he drove wildly through the field.
The 35 year old man was eventually cornered after his vehicle careened into a neighboring orchard and crashed into a ditch.
“Shoot out two tyres… then the problem is solved,” irate farmer Ad Van Schendel told police, according to the Brabants Dagblad newspaper.
Damage to the cornfield was estimated at 7,000-8,000 euros (4,700-5,380 pounds).

A Port St. Lucie Florida woman has been held on a gun charge after she claimed that she accidentally shot her husband in the head after being startled by the burglar alarm.
April Moylan, 39 years of age, was charged on Wednesday with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and has been ordered held on a $75,000 bond.
Sheriff Ken mascara stated on Wednesday that the attorney’s office is going over the facts of the case and additional charges could be laid in the future.
Now here’s where the story takes a strange turn:
April’s husband, Michael Eugene Moylan, 45, awoke early Tuesday morning with a severe headache. The couple went to the hospital where the bullet was discovered in Moylan’s head.
It was first thought that Moylan might have been the victim of a stray bullet but it was later discovered that the couples stories didn’t match up.
The couple finally fessed up and told authorities that April sleeps with a loaded .32 caliber gun under her pillow. When the burglar alarm sounded at 4 a.m. Tuesday morning she grabbed the gun and it accidentally discharged a bullet into her husbands head just behind his ear.
The couple hadn’t wanted to tell the truth because they are both convicted felons and as a result are not allowed to own a gun so they came up with the headache story.
April was previously convicted for sale and delivery of cocaine in Palm Beach County. At this time her husband Michaels criminal record is not available.
Michael Moylan’s head wound was not considered life threatening. He’s recovering in the hospital.
It seems that Michael is a lucky man! I wonder what other charges the couple might face when the investigate concludes?

In the year 2003, a Bryn Mawr College student, Janet Lee, attempted to board an airliner with several flour-filled condoms. She claimed that her classmates and she used the soft and squishy condoms as stress relievers. They would give them a squeeze to ease their tension.
She must not have ever listened to the news or read a paper if she didn’t know that drug smugglers tend to fill condoms with cocaine and heroin and use mules who swallow the condoms in order to get the illegal drugs into the Country.
She was astonished when she was arrested at the Philadelphia airport and then jailed for three weeks until the lab could verify that the substance was indeed flour as she had claimed it was.
Unfortunately for the city of Philadelphia she smartened up and strapped them with a lawsuit for wrongful detention and was awarded $180,000 in January, 2007.
You can bet she’ll never make that mistake again!
