A fella out in California decided the best way to spend his Sunday afternoon was by hanging out the window of his Honda Odyssey Van, waving and blowing kisses at the police while he led them on a high speed chase through Orange County and Los Angeles County.

And I know what y’all are thinking, right now, “Why did he do that?! He could’ve killed somebody.” My understanding of the situation is that this fella’s foot hit the pedal after the police signaled for him to pull over due to a broken tail light.

Mind you, folks who tend not to have warrants out on them don’t floor it when they see the blues and reds flashing. They just pull over, let down the window, give the officer their information and then pull into the nearest auto body shop and get the tail light fix. The $25 he would have had to pay for the “fix-it” ticket plus the cost of fixing the tail light would’ve cost him over $100. But when you have a warrant or several warrants out on you, you tend to go!

Just to be clear, I’m just speculating. No word has come out, yet, about why this fella thought it would be a bright idea to go out on a high speed chase in his Honda Odyssey.

The one thing that is for sure is that he may have to spend a year in county and pay a $1,000 fine for evading the police. Of course, all of that depends upon whether the DA wants to hit him with a misdemeanor charge of evading of an officer. The DA could also up the charge to a felony which carries anywhere from 16 months to 3 years up state and a maximum fine of $10,000. And folks, keep in mind that the lawyer fees for his or her services to keep this person out of jail have not even been factored into the equation.

Needless to say, it definitely would’ve been best for that fella to just pay the $25 for that “fix-it” ticket, get the tail light fix, and deal with whatever warrants he may have. Because now, not only does he have the tail light to fix but he more than likely has extra charges, meaning more money he has to fork out to the courts, the lawyers, and the state for all of those fines he has to pay.

Committing crimes is costly!
