Bales of marijuana were hurled out of a truck Wednesday during a high speed chase on Interstate 8 in Arizona.
According to police, much of the evidence was lost because motorists stopped to pick up the marijuana that had been tossed by the two male occupants in the truck.
Jim Knupp, a Pinal County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said that a deputy spotted the 2006 white Trailblazer traveling at a high rate of speed and attempted to perform a traffic stop, KSDK reported.
“The vehicle began to accelerate to speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour and the occupants began to throw bales of marijuana out of the vehicle onto the roadway,” Knupp stated.
The chase ended when police laid down spike strips, which deflated the truck’s tires.
KSDK reported that the men identified as 43-year-old Mario Perez-Paz and 21-year-old Juan Aguilar-Zavala, fled from the truck and were successfully arrested by police shortly after.
The police investigation led to the discovery of a stash house in Mesa where officials found 20 illegal immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala.
Roughly 375 pounds of marijuana was collected in the investigation by police. The men are facing a number of charges, including conspiracy to transport drugs for sale and unlawful flight from law enforcement.
SSS – please verify your whereabouts this morning, or are you too busy?
So, when is SSS going to come out of retirement and arrest the POTUS for self-described law-breaking?
That is freaking hilarious. I counted at least 18 bales being tossed onto the highway. Who the hell drives around with BALES of weed in their car???
The funniest part is that most of them were picked up by “concerned citizens”, hahahaha.
I fully expect to see La Raza, Holder’s DOJ, Rep. Luis Guiterrez, et all descend upon all these misunderstood youths, as well as the 20 poor economic refugees being held in Tuscon and bestow upon them the following:
1) Young Business Person’s Award for Innovative Farm to Market Solutions.
2) Free college tuition followed by enrollment and full ride in the Business School of their choice to help them develop even better business products. After all drugs and human smuggling is so passe. Mebbe they can network with the IslamoNazis and get into nuclear weapon smuggling.
3) State/Federal ID, Section 8 housing, SSN numbers, EBT cards, Obamaphones. It isn’t just for the FSA anymore!
4) A lump sum of cash as the credit for the taxes they should have been paying for their drug and human smuggling, oh say, back date for 10 years. Fair is fair!!!
5) Immediate citizenship for these 22 outstanding and brave individuals, as well as for all their relatives to the 3rd degree.
What the hell, give them the Presidential Medal of Freedom!
Of course, the law enforcement involved will be fired, lose their pensions, be hounded by the media and end up homeless and broke as a just reward for attempting to prevent these fine individuals from achieving the American Dream.
Reminds me of my days as an air personality in Panama City Beach. So much weed was coming in through the Gulf, we used to do “bail reports” to direct our hippie listeners to just the right spots.
That was seriously funny.
Bob.
It could not have been SSS. The speed was in excess of 100 mph. The old fart can’t see that fast. The only thing in excess of 100 in SSS’s life is his golf score.
Running in AZ.
In the daylight.
Where on this God’s Earth did they think they were going to go? Hope that the cops’ cars ran out of gas before theirs? Then taking off on foot. Same question….To WHERE?
Like a dog that pees in the middle of the living room and then looks to try to escape.
Scary that people this stupid are driving around in 4000 lb trucks…at 100 mph.
I solemnly swear I was not on Interstate 8 this morning. Tuesdays are for house cleaning in my home, and Die Fuhrer (my wife) at my home assigns me vacuuming tasks. Bummer.
I have to admit though. Pitching bales of marijuana out of a car doing 100+ mph does sound much more interesting than running a fucking vacuum cleaner. Driving the car would be even better. In my younger days, I racked up an unbelievable amount of speeding tickets in 18 states and 6 foreign countries. King of the lead foots. I actually had a warrant out for my arrest in California.
Fast planes, fast cars, and fast women. Those were the days.

I might have a warrant for my arrest in Iowa when I was there on business. Back in the 80’s I got a bullshit speeding ticket from some hick deputy sheriff on a country road. I pitched the fucker out the window after he left. Pre-computer days so they can blow me.
“I pitched the fucker (speeding ticket) out the window after he (the cop) left. Pre-computer days so they can blow me.”

Did the exact same thing in 1971 in Monterey CA, except I tore the ticket up into little pieces before I tossed it out the window. Cop got me for going down a one-way alley in the wrong direction to get the hell out of a massive traffic jam. Asshole.
Unfortunately, I had about another 1/2 dozen other moving traffic violations in the area and beat feet out of the state before the court dates. Hence, the registered letter with the warrant for my arrest which arrived at my home in Florida. I tore that up, too.
P.S. My wife actually got arrested for driving my car that was on the Monterey County BOLO – Be On the Look Out – list. The cop eventually let her go after a couple of hours, but man, was she ever pissed. Just one of the many adventures of being married to SSS.
The current cannonball run record (NYC to redondo beach is 28 hours 50 minutes in a benz coupe. My personal best is miami /Jacksonville in 4 hours flat. 380 miles
The driver’s problem was that there were no rivers. My plan if I’m ever trying to get away from the coppers is to stop on a bridge and jump into a river. I figure they’ll never follow me into the river. Of course they could just look up my license plate. And they’d be like “why’d that guy jump in the river? We were just going to tell him he had a taillight out.”

This is all becoming very clear…….. No wonder SSS is all about decriminalization of weed. I still support SSS in the decriminalization debate but bales of weed is another subject. He was prolly in on the CONAIR golden triangle thing back in the 60’s with plane loads of the stuff.
Spooks don’t clean house, there are holes in his story of his whereabouts.
make money flying drugs in and then a pension for preventing drugs from entering the US…win…win for the parasites.
