A Florida man being chased by
police phoned 911 and asked a dispatcher to contact the White House so
he could speak to his “close friend,” President Donald Trump.
“We made a deal,” marijuana suspect Aric Frydberg said of his relationship with the president during the bizarre emergency call early Tuesday.
The appeal
didn’t work. Collier County sheriff’s deputies caught Frydberg, 33,
after a seven-mile car chase. Despite his attempts to weasel out of
trouble ― invoking Trump, blaming Jews and claiming his mother had been
in an accident ― deputies booked him on charges that included aggravated
assault on a law enforcement officer, battery on a law enforcement
officer, resisting an officer with violence, tampering with evidence,
and possession of marijuana. He was jailed on $99,500 bail.
It all started
when a deputy noticed a marijuana-like scent emanating from a vehicle
parked in a post office parking lot. The officer looked inside the car
and saw a baggie containing a green leafy substance. When he tried to
confiscate the baggie, Frydberg allegedly grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.
