Posted by FoM on July 18, 1999 at 07:13:02 PT By Yusef Robb Source: LA Times GLENDALE -- A Glendale man led two officers on a chase through several city streets after an officer saw him smoking what appeared to be marijuana in his car, a report stated. Jeremy Abbey, 30, was arrested at the end of the chase Wednesday and later charged with felony evading and misdemeanor drug possession after he surrendered to officers in a parking lot at the 1200 block of Mariposa Street, police said. Officers found what they believed to be the remains of several marijuana cigarettes and a bag containing a substance resembling marijuana inside Abbey's car, police said. An officer was alongside Abbey at a red light at the intersection of Chevy Chase Drive and Glendale Avenue at about 9 a.m. and saw him putting out what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette in his ashtray, police said. The officer told Abbey not to move, but when the light turned green, he sped away, squealing his tires. The ensuing chase went through Glendale Avenue, Acacia Avenue, Boynton Street, Palmer Avenue and finally Mariposa Street, where Abbey was arrested without a struggle, police said. Abbey violated six traffic laws during the chase, including failing to yield for a woman pushing a baby in a stroller in a crosswalk and driving past a school at 40 mph, police said. Abbey was arraigned today. Information on the proceeding was not available at press time.

I saw it Rainbow and I didn't post it here but I sent it onto Map Inc. Marijuana does kill but only in situations where people fear for their freedom and run and then get killed. Very sad!Peace, FoM!

Is this really worth it? How many children do we need to kill before the government will stop their insanity.CheersTom [ Post Comment ] Post Comment Name: Optional Password: E-Mail: Subject: Comment: [Please refrain from using profanity in your message] Link URL: Link Title:
