1/7/2011 12:48:22 PM

They just said it was "large quantities of chapter 90"

Everyone stay home.... It has been recovered.

I'm glad they put lives in danger to get these vile drugs off our streets

Damn, where at on 540? I just drove the whole thing and never saw anything, except quite a few HP cars.

High speed chase/multiple crashes over some drugs?

"Raleigh, N.C. — Raleigh police chased a vehicle Friday along portions of Interstates 40 and 540 in north Raleigh before making an arrest on I-540 east near the Six Forks interchange, spokesman Jim Sughrue said. Steven Denell Elleby, 24, of Durham, was taken into custody at about 1 p.m. Charges are pending. Detectives tried to arrest Elleby in the 4000 block of Tournament Drive at about 12:30 p.m., Sughrue said, but he pointed a handgun at officers and fled. Police next tried to stop him on Duraleigh Road near the intersection with Sedgewood Drive, but he fled, leading them and members of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol and the Wake Sheriff’s Office on a high-speed chase onto Wade Avenue, I-40 and I-540. As he drove, Sughrue said, Elleby threw a gun and drugs from his car."

Damn, I was on 540 just before that time frame, lol.

1/7/2011 3:25:45 PM

So that's why the cops were going nuts over by Waraji while I was on my lunch break

1/7/2011 3:45:39 PM

I'm surprised he even made it to his car since he "pointed a gun"

Usually trigger happy cops go ahead and take care of that.

So a cop is trigger happy if he returns fire if a criminal points a gun at them? Its trigger happy to protect your life?

Id say they showed restraint

1/8/2011 1:26:54 PM

the cop haters ITT = returded

1/8/2011 1:29:18 PM

I would have approved them shooting him. Heck i would approve them shooting him because he was a drug dealer. Just saying I'm surprised he made it to the car.

I've known hundreds of potheads. Not one even owned a gun.
(Ever hear the point about serial killers and french fries? There is no causal link between gun violence and drug use.)

1/8/2011 4:00:24 PM

^3lbs of weed is way more than your avg potheads stash. On the order of 50x the amount most potheads may carry. Dude was clearly dealing which puts him in a separate class.

Not the potheads I've known. In fact, the ones with 3lbs+ were raging socialist anti-gun nuts.

There is no causal link between drug dealing and gun violence.

(Just look at all those liquor store owners that gun down their competition... )

1/8/2011 4:23:14 PM

Why do drug dealers always throw the drugs out of the window in a bag, all wrapped up in a nice present for their court hearing? Why not open that shit up and gradually let it fly out of the window?

1/8/2011 4:43:42 PM

Bigots? Really? I've know plenty of potheads that don't have guns as well. This one did. As an ordinary citizen and CCW holder, Id have shot him if he pointed a gun at me.

Now what the cops should have done is tased him:

1/8/2011 4:46:25 PM

Because drug dealers are thoughtful people merbig. Also its pretty easy to do that going 95 with the cops doing maneuvers on you.

I'm astraladvent and I approved this message

1/8/2011 4:51:56 PM

Yea Indy, let's take the pot and police out of the equation. You point a gun at me and I'm going to defend myself. If you are dumb enough to do this without your life being in danger then no one but people like you are going to feel bad. Now, with that said let's put the pot and police back in. Nothing has changed.

1/8/2011 5:08:07 PM

personally i think people who smoke pot should be shot just for the simple fact they smoke pot

1/8/2011 5:09:25 PM

pot/kettle conundrum ITT

1/8/2011 5:11:47 PM

^^ I vote that people who drink should be shot just because they drink.

Why do you seem to think that I'm defending this violent scumbag? He's not automatically "cool" just because he's got pot....

I'm objecting to statements like that^^^ (not sure if that^^^ is serious....)

[Edited on January 8, 2011 at 5:12 PM. Reason : ^]

1/8/2011 5:12:14 PM

Ok maybe I should have said I would approve them shooting him because he was a violent drug dealer who is already a felon and already 23? I believe in 2nd chances but not so much 3rd and 4th but thats what people get in this country.

1/8/2011 5:20:25 PM

Still not quite there, yet. The fact that he was a drug dealer is not at all relevant. (unless you're talking about the effects of prohibition.)

Drug dealers are in NO WAY necessarily violent. Drug prohibition however, tends to contribute to such violence.

Point a gun at the cops and live to tell about it? Count your blessings.

1/8/2011 11:57:28 PM

NEVER apologize on TWW, BridgetSPK

do you hear me?! NEVER

1/9/2011 12:00:02 AM

wait, these cops and this dumbass kid endangered the lives of everyone on the highway over 3 pounds of pot? I bet it was some bullshit mexican brick weed too; probably not worth $1500.

I got passed by 6 cops on the way back from lunch that day, and I'd estimate every single one of them was doing 100+mph when the average speed of the traffic around them was only 60mph.

1/9/2011 12:10:07 AM

And you'd better fucking believe that if they'd have hit you, it would have been your "failure to yield".

But hey, that's 3lbs of highly dangerous lethal drugs off the street man. All in a days work.

[Edited on January 9, 2011 at 12:12 AM. Reason : T]

1/9/2011 12:11:09 AM

^^Definitely not worth anything anybody would be impressed by.

However, dude supposedly drew his weapon on them before getting his vehicle.

So, yeah, they were chasing the dude in defense of their own lives!

Something tells me they're too busy going 100+mph trying to get away from the cops to think about opening up their stash and scattering it in the wind.
