Keith Adams, 37, was arrested early Saturday during a traffic stop near his residence in Largo, a city in the Tampa Bay area. Adams, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was sitting atop a “glass pipe which contained a thick white residue which field tested positive for cocaine.”

That's almost as good of a wooden leg story as the one about my sister's ex husband back in the 1980s.
Jeff was a biker who lost his left leg below the knee in an accident and was known to be somewhat antisocial which he proved when a guy gave him a hard time about parking his Harley in a handicapped spot, even though Jeff had a handicapped tag on his bike. I guess the dude thought you had to have a wheelchair or something to park there, but he was ragging on Jeff about it and wouldn't shut up.
Jeff took offense, walked over and knocked the guy out, then sat on him while he pulled his leg off, then commenced to beating him in the head with it. He ended up fucking the guy up pretty good until the cops showed up and wolf-packed him off, beating him with their clubs, this being the days before cops all had tasers.
With all his priors and the fact he was still on parole, Jeff ended up doing 3 years in Old Folsom over it.
I’ve got to hand it to him for thinking he could hide shit in his prosthetic leg
ReplyDeleteThe hollow-leg stash trick's been tried a hundred times before.
DeleteHad a friend lost a leg in the Navy. He drag raced Harleys. One day in a race his leg blew off on the track. He said nobody wanted to race him after that. Harley parts fallen off one thing, human parts another.
ReplyDeleteThe Jeff story was more interesting.

Kenny you have led an interesting life.
ReplyDeleteAt a newspaper where I worked (and got fired for insubordination, but the managing editor was one of the biggest a-holes I ever met) I one day said to the photographer who was my age, "I used to think I had led a normal life." He laughed and said, "Bob, you have led a far from normal life." Mostly the friends I had.
DeleteI'll bet he enjoyed 1/2 off sales at the shoe store.
ReplyDeleteAnd how 'bout a big hand for Capt. Hook?
