Voodoo Magic Threatens Florida State Trooper in Collier County
What makes wicked voodoo magic? Is it a head from a newt, a wing from a bat… Or is it weed and shrooms? I guess you’d have to ask the Florida man who threatened law enforcement with voodoo magic spells.
According to NBC2, it all started when the suspect was taking a ride down I-75 in Collier County. The Florida Highway Patrol didn’t have to do much detective work to spot trouble when Yvenson Pierristil zoomed past them, breaking the speed limit by a cool 15 mph. But it wasn’t just his speed that caught their attention. It was his car windows were like blackout curtains, perfect for a vampire or a voodoo priest out for a Florida cruise.
Now, when the troopers started asking questions, Pierristil’s body turned into a nervous wreck. He was sweating bullets, blushing like a tomato, and couldn’t hold a gaze to save his life. When the troopers caught a whiff of something suspicious, they knew there was more to this guy than speed… Like weed.
Voodoo Magic Spells Trouble:
They found crumbs of pot scattered around his car, and the smell was like a Skunk convention. But the real prize? A secret stash of 70 grams of marijuana and 34 grams of voodoo magic mushrooms, neatly tucked away in his glove compartment.
But Pierristil wasn’t just catching heat from the police for his stash. Nope, he decided to add a sprinkle a little bit extra to this chaotic recipe. A few dashes of disrespect. He mouthed off to the troopers, dropping a few choice curse words, and even threatened to bring his relatives in on the action, promising some voodoo magic.
Well, the troopers weren’t about to let that slide. They slapped Pierristil with a triple whammy for possession of marijuana, possession of magic mushrooms, and a bonus charge for threatening a law enforcer. Talk about a bad trip man!
5 Crazy Car Chases Caught On Camera
There’s something about a car chase that makes you stop what you’re doing to take a second and watch. This obsession probably started with O.J. Simpson and the famous White Bronco. However, that’s far from the only car chase to make the news. Here are 5 crazy car chases that were caught on camera.
I don’t know what it is that make police car chases so exciting to watch. Perhaps it’s the possibility that they’ll getaway, or maybe we’re just waiting for something awful to happen or some sort of wreck. One of those is more common than the other.
5 Crazy Car Chases Caught On Camera
It seems like every day there’s some sort of wild car chase on the news. They happen all across the country, and all around the world all the time. Hopefully, you’re not on the road when it happens. Certainly, they’re much more exciting to watch on your television from the comfort of your own home than to see the car go flying by you at 100 miles per hour. Sometimes, innocent bystanders and fellow cars on the road turn into victims or are impacted by the car chase in some way. They’re running from the cops and are sure to already be in a lot of trouble, they don’t care about damaging your car during the incident at all.
The internet is full of these car chase videos. They’re entertaining and news stations know it. Sometimes, the videos are captured by news crews in cars, other times the video is captured on camera by a helicopter, and sometimes it’s captured by a civilian on the scene. Thanks to social media, everyone is a journalist these days. Hopefully, you can hear the sarcasm in my voice when I write that. Pros and cons to that.
Back on June 17th of 1994, the entire country seemingly rushed to the nearest TV to watch O.J. Simpson evade police. The country watched as Simpson and a friend led police on a chase that lasted roughly 2-hours as they went from Orange County to Brentwood, per the Los Angeles Times. Now, 30 years later, it is still synonymous with car chases.
I spent some time going through YouTube to find some of the best police car chases that have been caught on camera. These are definitely some of the best available. There’s something about them where you just can’t look away. Check them out below! Stay safe on the roads, friends!
