You Knew This Was Going To Happen

I predicted something like this would happen.
From the LVRJ: Hours after Steven Brooks was expelled from the Nevada Legislature, he was arrested in California after a high-speed chase.
Brooks was arrested by Barstow Police about 7 p.m. Thursday on charges of evading and resisting arrest, throwing objects from his vehicle and harming a police dog.
Brooks is accused of hitting a police dog with a wrench. Officers used a Taser stun gun on Brooks during the arrest.
According to police, the chase began after Brooks refused to pay a tow truck driver after his SUV got a flat tire on Interstate 15 near Lenwood Road. As one officer was talking to the truck driver, Brooks began walking “at a fast pace” toward his car.
Officers ordered Brooks to stop, but he got into the car and began driving south on I-15, police said.
Brooks was driving with a flat tire and sparks and smoke were coming from his car, police said. Officers from California Highway Patrol and San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office joined the chase.
Brooks stopped the car after running over a spike strip, police said, and eventually exited the car. But he went back inside after police sent canine officer “Buck” after him.
Buck jumped through the rear window of Brooks’ car and began attacking him, police said. Brooks then choked Buck and hit him with the socket wrench, police said.
According to the Victorville Daily Press citing an unnamed California Highway Patrol official, Brooks threw several objects, including a handgun, out the window of his SUV as officers chased him.
Barstow police didn’t mention a handgun in their report. California Highway Patrol refused comment on the arrest.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/crime-courts/former-assemblyman-brooks-arrested-california-multiple-charges
