Crack for Clunkers: Man Arrested for Trading Father’s Car for Crack
Posted on 18 September 2009 by Brian Karpf
A 39-year-old Fresno, California man was arrested for attempting to trade his father’s car for crack cocaine – 50 bucks worth to be exact. 50 bucks?? I mean, lots of people swap things to get what they want. Usually, however, they consider something called FAIR VALUE. This was a Lincoln, not a Pinto – bad deal man. Some negotiator you are.
The 74-year old father reported that his car had been stolen late at night. Cops “cracked” the case (ha ha ha) when they saw the son walking home from a neighboring street at 4 in the morning. They caught the guy who was driving the car after he crashed the Lincoln into 2 parked vehicles. Obviously, we’re looking at a whole bunch of winners here.
The driver – who had gotten the deal of a lifetime – was arrested on charges of evading an officer and resisting arrest. The crackhead son was arrested for theft of a vehicle.
Some people are book smart. Some people are street smart. Apparently, these guys are neither. Their sentence should be going back to school…whattya say?
