Mugshot Of The Day: Florida Man Snorts Cocaine To Hide Evidence
A Florida man snorted cocaine in an attempt to hide the evidence. Unfortunately, he left some evidence behind! Now, he’s the subject of the Mugshot Of The Day on Dave & Chuck The Freak!
You never want to end up as the Mugshot Of The Day. It means that not only were you arrested for something wild, but your mugshot matches the story. We’ve seen all sorts of crazy mugshots that earned the title but this one might take the cake. It’s certainly one-of-a-kind.
Florida Man Snorts Cocaine To Hide Evidence
If you’re trying to evade the police with some drugs on you it might make sense that you have to get rid of the drugs so you’re in less trouble. However, what do you do with the drugs? You’re not always able to hide them somewhere that won’t be found. Sometimes, you might think it’s best if you consume them or try to snort the drugs away. It looks like that’s what this guy attempted to do, but he clearly didn’t get rid of all of it.
According to WFLA, Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) tried to pull over a driver who was speeding on US-19 but he didn’t stop and lead police on a pursuit. Eventually, they were able to ram his vehicle to end the chase while he was on his way home. The man was identified as 40-year-old Joel Craig Wallace who lives in Holiday, Florida.
A photo captured by the Florida Highway Patrol shows his face covered in a white powder beneath his nose. It looks like he tried to get rid of the evidence but didn’t get rid of it all. Wallace was arrested for fleeing and eluding, possession of cocaine, and tampering with evidence (because he tried to consume the drugs before they were found), per WFLA. You can see the mugshot of the Florida Man below provided by the Florida Highway Patrol.
As you can see, the evidence was not all removed! You can tell he tried hard, though. No further details were provided about the incident but I think you can tell enough about the story by looking at that picture. A picture really does say 1,000 words–maybe even more if they’re on cocaine.
Definitely worthy of being named the Mugshot Of The Day. Curious to see more? You can check out other examples and mugshots that earned the title below. However, this remains one of the most unique we’ve ever shared if I do say so myself.
