Inside the truck officers found a “custom bong device built into the dash of the truck so he could comfortably smoke drugs while driving”. Meth, heroin, and fentanyl were also discovered, as well as the stolen items.

The driver of the truck had 97 prior arrests. He is facing charges of DUI, eluding, and possession of narcotics. The passenger was turned over to Centralia PD for organized retail theft.

Goddamn dude

Extremely unresponsible to be driving under the influence of hard drugs. If someone is going to be smoking meth and fentanyl, they should at least have the reason to not be driving.

I mean… it didn’t say he was smoking anything but weed out of the bong… probably but FFS, how about the 99 priors??? How was this asshole even behind the wheel of a vehicle? This stinks of a CI.

The article said there was fentanyl, meth, and heroin. I'd guess that he wasn't just transporting it.

I’m not saying he wasn’t using a bit of himself. I’m just saying a bong is typically used to smoke weed. Given the potency of Fentanyl I doubt he was just casually sprinkling a bit on top for flavor 😝

Did you expect him to walk to the liquor store?

So close to 100! Wonder what the Guinness World Record is?

97 prior arrests sounds like police harrassment, not illegal behavior.

logic this through with me. if he'd been convicted, there would be a hell of a lot fewer arrests.

Under other circumstances, I might agree with you, but the guy built a bong into his dashboard.

That's an impressive level of commitment to DUI.
