You see his mug shot??? looks like death warmed over...SPD musta put the whammy on him...I use to live near this guy 15 years ago....he's always been shaky.....His parents are like millionaires and wonderful people....too bad for their son

Excellant joint effort between spd and sso. Great job to Sgt. CH, it's great to see a Sgt. with some balls who won't x66 every pursuit before it gets started. This x17 is nuts. I heard he was flippin the bird the whole time during the pursuit. Good job guys!
