Police
in Florida said a man who led officers on a chase told them he fled so
he could smoke his crack before going to jail. Gainesville police
officers attempted to pull over a blue pickup truck Saturday because it
had a headlight out, but the driver failed to stop and ran a red light
while fleeing. An Alachua County Sheriff’s Office deputy joined the
chase and the truck eventually stopped at a Kangaroo gas station in
Micanopy. The driver, Kenneth Stine, 53, told officers he stopped
fleeing because he was out of gas. He said he had refused to pull over
because he had just purchased some crack and wanted to smoke it in his
vehicle before going to jail. Stine was arrested and charged with
fleeing and attempting to elude, possession of drug paraphernalia and
violating his felony drug probation from a 2010 case.
