Criminal Makes a Break

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

While attempting to allude police in Wilmington, Del on January 7, 2002, a suspect first crashed his car on a highway overpass. To continue his get-away attempt, he started to run. In his haste, he dropped his gun onto the road surface and left his cocaine stash behind in his car. When he looked around and noticed the police coming for him, he took a leap of faith -- clearing the edge of the overpass -- landing on the road below.

Fortunately for him, he only broke his pelvis and leg. Unfortunately for us, he survived the fall to face his ultimate justice on another day.

It's a little dry, but the series of idiocies... the cocaine, the crash, the dropped gun, the leap of faith.

Hmmm. Maybe. It's a chain of misadventures and might clean up into a riot.
