Some days really don’t go to plan. And let’s be honest, few great days involve the phrase “crashing into a police car”, especially when said police car is parked outside a police station.
But if you’re driving past a cop shop wouldn’t you typically be extra-specially careful behind the wheel? And wouldn’t that be especially true if you happened to have, say, $200 million worth of ice in your van?
This bizarre turn of events is what has reportedly happened outside Eastwood police station on Sydney’s north in what Detective Chief Inspector Glyn Baker, described as “one of the easiest drug busts the NSW Police has ever made.”
Police stopped the vehicle in Ryde an hour after the crash and arrested a 26 year old man who has subsequently been charged with “large commercial drug supply, negligent driving, and not giving particulars to police.”
Note: it was stopped an hour later. That seems careless, when most folks experienced in the cop-crashing arts would likely suggest that such a vehicle might better be, say, empty and abandoned and on fire.
Anyway:
“This fellow… has certainly had a very, very bad day,” Chief Inspector Baker said to the Sydney Morning Herald, presumably while holding back giggles.
Still, let’s be honest: how many of us have had a day in which we can honestly say that colliding with a stationary police car outside of a cop shop was only the second or third worst thing that happened?
