Wouldn’t you be a bit mad too if you drove up to a banks drive-through window and you were told that the teller only had candy?
That happened to a man in Stone Lake, Wis recently when he drove up in his ATV.
Angered the man then held up a bag that he claimed contained a bomb, but the teller told him all she had was lollipops since her till had already been emptied. I guess he was perhaps attempting to rob the bank? In the end he drove away in frustration.
After leading a police chase that went on at 115 miles per hour and tossing beer cans out his window, William Joseph Galloway wrecked his pickup truck. After he wrecked his truck the man took another swig of beer and gave the deputies who’d been chasing him the middle finger.
According to the authorities Galloway told them he was going to die fighting and swinging, however the use of a taser put that threat to an end.
Galloway of Winter Park is now being held on $8,000 bail in the St. Johns County jail. He’s been charged with driving under the influence, driving with a suspended or revoked license, aggravated fleeing, attempting to elude and resisting arrest without violence. No one was hurt.
The chase began about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when a Florida Highway Patrol trooper began following a pickup truck with no headlights heading north on Interstate 95 in Flagler County. Troopers and deputies watched the driver throw beer cans from his truck as he weaved through traffic at high speeds in heavy rain. The truck eventually spun off the road and crashed into a tree.
“The suspect rolled down his window and drank from a beer can while displaying his middle finger in defiance,” the report said.
When Galloway would not get out of the truck and started to reach for his glove box, a deputy fired a 15-second Taser stun gun burst, the report said.
Galloway told deputies he would have fought them all if he had not been jolted with the Taser, the report said.
Galloway passed out several times after telling officers he had been taking methamphetamine and drinking alcohol all day, the report said.
Why do a lot of these type of stories happen in Florida?

This weeks theme is Music
I know my wife has talked about our elderly neighbor, Sofie, on a few of her sites. She calls Sofie her stalker because she follows my wife around whenever she’s outside and even stares at her from her windows.
She’s a cool lady though. She’s Macedonian and likes to pretend she doesn’t understand English very well, but she does … oh she does.
Anyway … one day I was in my backyard playing guitar and I got an idea for a photo. I ran back in the house and got one of my other guitars and coaxed Sofie into holding it. It does look like we are playing music, doesn’t it?
Her kids and grandkids just love this photo.
