LOVING MY NEW JOB
So I have undertaken a new position at a towing operation where we work with 9 local police departments doing impounds, abandoned vehicles, and break downs.
Let me tell you that working with the police we see all types of scenarios that I couldn't even imagine.
Yesterday I got called out on a tow in North Versailles ....that is a town about 10 minutes east of Pittsburgh PA. The vehicle I was towing was a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7 litre Hemi. It played out like this...the passenger of the vehicle asked the driver to drive him to Home Depot to return a lawn mower. The driver agreed and told the passenger it was his sister's truck.
Well they ran a stop light and got pulled over when they did the officers suspected the driver was under the influence of narcotics.
They pull the driver out and search him when they find the drugs. He also was driving on a suspended driver license. So they arrested him and impounded the truck.
The passenger was also on narcotics but didn't have anything on him so the police couldn't hold him for anything. Come to find out it was the drivers mom's boyfriend's truck. ..not his sister's like he told the passenger and he didn't have permission to drive it. So he got charged with driving under the influence D.U.I. driving on suspended license and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
All for drugs. He took this huge risk and ultimately paid a heavy price for a little bit of crack cocaine! What a major bummer that drugs have such control over people's rational thinking. If he was sober I really don't believe that he would've done that.
