You’d be saying something else if he had actually tried to flee the scene. This clown drove onto the dealership lot, exited his car, began vandalizing cars on the lot, re-entered his vehicle and drove THRU the glass into the dealership’s showroom. I doubt that this was an accident. ---

Have we done the [Charnesia Corley story](http://abc13.com/news/woman-accuses-officer-of-going-too-far-during-traffic-stop/905180/)yet? According to Corley, following a traffic stop the deputy smelled what he believed to be marijuana, searched the vehicle, and found nothing. Then believing the smell was coming from her, he called a female deputy who asked Corley to drop her pants and then conducted a vaginal search _in the parking lot_. There’s a fair amount of “she said/the police said” at this point and they did find a whopping 0.02 ounces of marijuana (it’s not clear where they found it, but how the hell much is 0.02 ounces? That’s like _one leaf_) so take the story with the usual grains of salt. ---

0.02 ounces is basically a roach, right ? ---
