CNBC AI News – August 14th – In a bizarre incident that could only originate from the most audacious of movie plots, a driver in Lianyuan, Hunan province, China, found himself on the wrong side of the law – and a hefty dose of reality. Local police reported the intoxicated individual attempted to evade a traffic stop by literally throwing money at the problem. Yes, you read that right. He scattered a cool 20,000 yuan (approximately $2,760 USD) in hundred-yuan bills, hoping to create enough chaos to make a clean getaway.
The high-stakes chase unfolded on the evening of August 6th. Officers noticed a vehicle suspiciously decelerating near a checkpoint, raising immediate red flags.
As police approached, the driver abruptly bailed, abandoning his vehicle and sprinting into the night.
But this wasn’t your run-of-the-mill flight from justice. In a move that screams desperation (and perhaps a touch of misguided genius), the man began tossing wads of cash behind him, creating a monetary obstacle course for his pursuers.
Imagine the scene: bills raining down as officers strategized on the fly. The police quickly divided into teams: one relentlessly pursuing the fleeing suspect, another securing the scattered currency, and a third maintaining order amidst the unfolding financial tempest. Ultimately, the suspect was apprehended.
A subsequent count revealed the driver had jettisoned a total of 20,000 yuan, fresh from the bank earlier that day.
Blood alcohol tests confirmed the obvious: the man was significantly impaired, registering a staggering 147.7mg/100ml – far exceeding the legal limit for driving under the influence.
When questioned about his unorthodox escape strategy, the man reportedly lamented, “My mind went blank! I just wanted to distract you, so I could escape…”
His “distraction” tactic proved costly. He now faces a 2,000 yuan fine (roughly $275 USD), the revocation of his driver’s license, and potential criminal charges for drunk driving.
