As a Bears fan, I am used to turnover passes at critical moments but this is ridiculous. Kissimmee (Florida) officer Christopher Breuer was trying to pull over a gold Acura at 2 am after the car allegedly slammed into his cruiser. However, the car kept going after Breuer put on the lights. Trailing the car with this spotlight on the occupants, he then saw the sun roof open and a hand threw out a bag of cocaine . . . which landed on the hood of his police cruiser. Luis Vazquez, 30, (left) and driver Jose Vales, 38,(right) are now under arrest.
The Acura eventually pulled into a 7-Eleven and Breuer asked who throw the cocaine on his car. Vazquez initially denied that they had thrown out the bag, but driver Jose Vales, 38, reportedly fingered Vazquez. They have both been charged on drug felonies but Vazquez was also charged with evidence tampering for throwing the cocaine.
Of course, the biggest problem will be ribbing in the cellblock as Vales and Vazquez become the criminal equivalent of an urban legend. This is why Jay Cutler is still better off as a NFL quarterback than drug dealer.

I must have a criminal mind, why not tear it open and let it blow in the wind?
Ironic, because the Brooklyn US Attorney tabbed to be the next AG is the Queen of assets seizures. She loves to pat herself on the back for leading the nation in seizures. More seizures than an out of medication epileptic.
You guys are gonna love Holder. Look at what he had done on asset seizures.

I hope not too many of you are choking on the news.
“Asset seizure turned cops into robbers.”. comment I just saw about LEOs seizing property from so-called suspects.
Another total waste of taxpayer money, but a nice little bump for all the usual beneficiaries of corporate welfare – you know, LEOs, bail bondsmen, lawyers,
jails & their suppliers, and so on.
Add two more ruined lives. The coke was probably brought to the U.S. directly by CIA or one of their favored cartels.
Nick,
I took my kids back to my sister’s place in Madison one winter and my SoCal kids wanted to experience ice skating at the lake…it was -5 and no matter how hard I tried to tell them they wouldn’t like it, they just had to experience it for themselves. They were done in less than 5 minutes. 😀
Olly, The upper Midwest is no place for humans during the winter. However, there are some folks who enjoy the winter, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, ice fishing[drinking in a shack on a frozen lake]. God Bless them. To each their own.
Nick – there are people who get pleasure out of being spanked. I don’t judge, but I don’t join.
I live in N. San Diego county but I’m originally from Minneapolis. I try to convince myself I could return to the twin cities or even NE Iowa, but it’s days like today that remind me why I don’t. 😀
Jay is a superb fumbler as well as a thrower of picks. But, it’s not just his prowess in both categories, he throws picks and fumbles @ critical times. A Zen master,
I have a neighbor here in San Diego who is a high school football coach. When he learned I am from Wi. he told me the anti-Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, lives in nearby Del Mar. I didn’t know that. He’s from NoCal and figured that’s where he lived. There was a time when players actually lived in Green Bay. I think those days are over, but there might be a few who still do?
In Cutler’s defense, this would have been ruled a fumble and not an interception. 😉
Somehow I doubt Jay Cutler reads legal blogs. He can’t even read an opponents defense.
JT shows his contempt for Cutler on his sleeve, and on his blog. A Mercury Morris reference would also be appropriate in this piece.
When you don’t have the protection of an offensive line and your running for your life it’s hard to complete passes, give Cutler a break and put the onus where it belongs
When you hand over the evidence in any fashion then you may not be charged with a crime of evidence tampering because you tossed it to them rather than handed it to them on a silver platter. How did it “tamper”, let me count the ways…. Case dismissed on Count II. On Count I for possession I would argue that it came out of the car in front of the guys car, hit his hood and bounced again on to the igPay car.
Excellent Jay Cutler reference! Jay Cutlerm the quarterback who once caused Mrs. Haz to ask: “Can the quarterback just throw the ball to any player on the field?”
The column didn’t make clear whether the “accused” are members of the Florida football team or the Florida State football team.
