He’s lucky the officer didn’t shoot him. Throw the book at him for assaulting an officer.
Scott your a lucky man as encounters with a.p.d of this nature often end with people dead (notice police are not counted as people).
Get your life together my man, you havent necessarily “gotten away”, cops have long memories and hate being embarrassed!
Im saying from experience…
