You think they were all trying for last place so they didn't have to be the one to take him to the ground and cuff him?

Police: 'Rampage' goes on one (http://dailypilot.com/articles/2008/07/15/publicsafety/dpt-pursuit071608.txt)

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, former light heavyweight champion of the Ultimate Fighter Championships, was arrested on suspicion of felony evading, hit-and-run and reckless driving Tuesday after he allegedly led police on a pursuit from Costa Mesa to Newport Beach, police said.

Jackson, the driver of a lifted, gray pick-up truck left crashed cars, shredded tires and sparks in his wake this afternoon when he led police on a short pursuit from the southbound 55 freeway exit onto Newport Boulevard where he hit at least three cars, police said.

The driver hit two cars at 19th Street and Newport Boulevard, then drove away at about 1:13 p.m., Lt. Paul Dondero said. A Costa Mesa police officer saw the driver southbound approaching 17th Street and tried to pull him over, police said. There, he hit at least one more car before continuing to run, now heading south toward the Balboa Peninsula, Dondero said. Some time after that, the truck blew a tire but continued to drive on its rims, Dondero said.

Jackson eventually gave up, pulled over and was arrested, police said. The whole chase lasted about five minutes, Dondero said.

How fucking smart are you when you try to run from the police in a vehicle WITH YOUR FUCKING FACE ON THE SIDE OF IT??! :clap:

[Tax Kuntz]

I'm sure he's not too busy to call the show :icon_roll

[Barbwire Mike]

Eh, Dana's already bailed him out (had to fly in and post $25,000 bond). I'm sure he'd want his side out there.


ETA: OK, I'm not sure he'd want his side out there. I AM sure it'd be great radio.

Do they?

[ThatsNotFunny]

Fuck, how disappointing....

[Cherry Pie]

at least he wont get merlested in prison

[Chino Kapone]

Did he thing he was really going to get away in the fucking gigantic rampage monster truck? He probably did it just to blow off some steam....

[mendozathejew]

he was sober according to the police. he was desperate to get back to his place and was on the phone the whole time. he fucked up doing what he did, I just hope his excuse is good enough for why he was so desperate to get there at all costs. if its some serious emergency and not something trivial that would atleast explain the behavior, somewhat

Losing that belt is a hell of a thing..... :rolleyes:

[d0uche_n0zzle]

At least he's living up to his nickname.
