A different kind of police chase

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).

Half naked drive-thru

No pants? No coffee!

Police in Bend, Oregon, charge Garry Scott Harding twice visited a drive-thru coffee stand without his drawers. He’s been arraigned on charges of public indecency and stalking.

The Bulletin newspaper reports the teen-ager who works at the stand called police this week after Harding came back fully clothed after driving through twice over the last few weeks naked from the waist down.

According to police, Harding claims his wife once removed his pants prior to visiting a drive-thru window, and he couldn’t stop thinking about the experience.
