Houdini on the Loose

The cops sent another idiot to the hospital yesterday after shooting him several times. (Obviously this guy is not from around here.) After being stopped for speeding and weaving, Victor Hernandez of Livermore, (see!) was hand cuffed and placed in the CHP patrol car. Then presto changeo, he moved his cuffed hands from the back to the front (ow!!) then got in the driver’s seat and proceeded to try and mow the officer over. Naturally the cop shot him. Apparently the booze was really working cuz the bullet holes didn’t bother him at all. He kept right on going.

About four miles away Hernandez lost control of the cruiser and flipped it. Still undeterred he got out of the car and tried to make a run for it. That’s when his body stepped in and said, “Hello! You’re drunk and you’ve been shot! You need to lie down.” He was found a short distance away.

Interestingly enough, they did not release the name of the officer involved in the shooting like they usually do. I imagine he’s a little embarrassed about having his car stolen by some drunk guy.
