His dangerous streak peaked in March with a 100+ km/h chase in a 50 zone through thick fog — he kept fleeing even as his tire shredded. It wasn’t just one incident: just two days later, he sped again, crossed into oncoming traffic, and ran another red light. His history stretches back to October, when cops found a glass bong in his car — and it only got worse. He was nabbed with a stolen $18K e-bike, resisted arrest, tested positive for meth, and even drove off in a stolen car with swapped plates. His lawyer revealed he’s battling PTSD and a meth relapse — his life “spiraled out of control.” The judge sentenced him to 20 months, with home detention possible, and handed back his apology letter — telling him to read it during hard times, because his six-year-old son needs him, and time is running out.
