TACO BELL BRIBE DOESN'T WORK ON COP

In Pasco, Florida, a cop stopped a black Honda Accord at 2 a.m. last Thursday. The officer spotted baggies of white powder in the center console, which the driver tried to conceal with a cellphone. The driver, Eric X. Vela Arriaga, 27, asked the officer to ignore the baggies in exchange for a trip to Taco Bell. The officer declined and Arriaga was booked into the Franklin County jail for possessing cocaine.
* I’m ashamed to say the bribe probably would have worked on me.
* Okay, it was a long shot but when your facing this kind of charge it was worth a try.
* Especially since multiple baggies could mean you’re a dealer.
* Should have gone with a donut bribe instead.
* Folks, let this be a lesson to you. Always have a box with a dozen glazed sitting on your passenger seat.
* Smart to keep the drugs on the center console – that way they’re easier to spot.
* I guess Eric figured “Taco Bell or flee before the trial. Either way it’s a run for the border.”
