Seattle Police reportedly stopped a seventy-three-year-old man for driving without his headlamps on during hours of darkness. It could have been just a warning for the driver but after the officer returned from checking the driver’s status and vehicle registration he found something truly unexpected–the driver snorting cocaine.
On December first of 2015 around 8:30 PM Seattle’s traffic stop turned into something rather interesting, as recorded on a dash-camera. When the officer returned to the driver’s vehicle, after having completed a WACIC and DOL check on the driver, he reportedly planned to give only a warning for the headlight violation but instead the driver allegedly decided the time was right for few snorts of blow.
After knocking on the window the SPD officer startled the driver, causing him to spill the cocaine. He then asked the driver what was in his left hand, to which the driver replied “nothing”. The conversation deteriorated for the newly crowned “suspect.”
“Really. Are you kidding. You’re about to snort coke on the side of the road.”
“No!”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“What was it then”
“Nothing.”
“I watched you do it.”
“It was nothing.”
That “nothing” resulted in the suspect’s booking into the county jail for felony possession of a controlled substance.
I think some people just want to be arrested.

Did he actually do it? And where are the lab tests? Grasping……? Maybe the officer was being punked. Slink away. i know. But we should always probe alternatives.
And another notion just crossed my mind. Old farts need a coke retreat.
Casey Jones Lyrics
from Workingman’s Dead
New! Highlight lyrics to add Meanings, Special Memories, and Misheard Lyrics…
Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
This old engine makes it on time
Leaves Central Station ’bout a quarter to nine
Hits River Junction at seventeen two
At a quarter to ten you know it’s travelin’ again
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Trouble ahead, Lady in red
Take my advice you’d be better off dead
Switchman’s sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Drive your train, whoo
Trouble with you is the trouble with me
Got two good eyes but you still don’t see
Come round the bend, you know it’s the end
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, you know, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
And you know that notion just cross my mind

More evidence that there is no cure for stupid. I’d bet Tom Blanton above dead right. randyjet too. Urp!
At his age he should avoid Coke and go for diet Pepsi. The older generation has way too much diabetes.
Well, he is certainly old enough to know better…..
I suspect the guy was attempting to destroy the evidence and he didn’t want to just sprinkle the blow on the street. I would have tried to snort it all up before pulling over in the first place.
Oh, no, that was so bad! Too funny.
Expect a lot more of these things as we baby boomers age. 🙂
Wow! Lol! If I was a police officer, making this arrest, I would find a new career. Lol!

LOL! Was this guy in the Back to the Future car, driving right out of 1981? Was he wearing a beeper?
Sort of like asking the cop during a traffic stop to wait while you pop another beer.
Loved the video. I needed a good laugh.
This is Washington. Pot is legal. Coke is next. Diet Pepsi later. Outlaw tobacco.
“I got it for Thanksgiving as a gift from an anonymous donor and it had a note which said I had to smell it with the straw. So it sat around on the front seat until today and when you pulled me over I had nothing to do so I followed directions. Then when you told me to get out of the car I followed directions. I always follow directions. I am 73 and do not get erections.”
I guess his defence will be that it’s probably safer to snort in a stationary vehicle?
