Run to the Border: Indiana Man Takes Police on Chase to Get to Taco Bell for One Last Burrito

Most criminals run to the actual border, but Jermaine Askia Cooper, 36, told police that he took them on a 90-mph chase in Indiana because he knew he was going away for a long time and wanted one last burrito. If Taco Bell does not make this a commercial, their marketing people are senseless.

Fort Wayne police Sgt. Mark Walters says 36-year-old Jermaine Askia Cooper told officers he “knew he was going to jail for a while” and wanted to get one last burrito. Cooper is being held on four counts of cocaine dealing, one count of resisting arrest by fleeing and other charges.

During the chase, Cooper threw a .45-caliber Colt semiautomatic handgun out the window.
