What seems to be the problem, officer?
A bad day just kept getting worse for Ralph Bias, an 18-year-old arrested in Louisiana last week.
Police stopped Bias for speeding. He was going 52 mph in a 35 mph zone (Mistake One).
The officer noticed he wasn’t wearing a seat belt (Mistake Two), and upon checking his license, saw that he was driving with a suspended one (Mistake Three).
Then, according to nola.com, the officer noticed the handrolled marijuana cigarette on the console (Mistake Four).
With some further checking, the officer found that the 2004 Lexus that Bias was driving had been reported stolen from New Orleans (Mistake Five).
At that point, the officer — not having much reason to trust the driver — made some inquiries about the Shih Tzu sitting on the front passenger seat, and ended up calling the veterinarian whose name was listed on the dog’s tags.
The vet told the officer that the pet had been stolen during a home burglary (Mistake Six).
A laptop computer in the vehicle was also found to be stolen (Mistake Seven).
In all, Bias was found with stolen items valued at $27,020, including the value of the Lexus.
Bias was booked with possession of stolen goods, marijuana possession and various traffic offenses. He was released on bond Thursday.
