In St. Louis, Missouri, a man who police saw walking to his car with about $500 worth of allegedly stolen Red Bull energy drinks led officers on a pursuit where speeds topped 120 mph. Anthony Simpson, 33, has been already been convicted of stealing Red Bull from local supermarkets on three different occasions. Officers identified Simpson walking to his car from a supermarket with a shopping cart full of Red Bull. Police activated their lights and sirens, but Simpson took off, leading police on the high-speed chase, weaving in and out of traffic and driving on the shoulder of the highway. Eventually, he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a concrete barrier. He then refused to get out of the vehicle until police fired pepper balls at him, and he then complied.
* Red Bull gives you wings! And a felony record!
* 120 miles per hour! Jeeze, did he put it in the gas tank?
* Luckily, the cops had just had a couple cups of espresso.
* You gotta admit, this would make a dandy commercial for the product.
* This is the opposite of what happens with people who shoplift SleepyTime Tea.
