Suspect with bong built into his car dashboard is arrested for the 98th time after high speed chase

A suspect who had installed a bong into the dashboard of his car was arrested for the 98th time by officers following a high speed chase.

Dashcam footage shared by Thurston County Sherriff Derek Sanders on Monday (23 March) shows officers chasing a vehicle through Down Olympia, Washington after they received reports that a pair of organized retail theft suspects had just fled a store.

After a high speed pursuit, which was then called off by officers due to the reckless driving of the fleeing motorist, officers eventually located the two suspects and their truck.

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.
