Parolee Leads Police In Stolen Car Pursuit

A Fort Smith man told police he needed a ride, so when he saw keys still in a pharmacy delivery car he allegedly broke in and took it for a drive.
5NEWS has the video of the police pursuit that ensued and involved officers from both Fort Smith and Van Buren.
Thomas Lindley is an ex convicted that now faces a new series of charges. A Fort Smith patrol officer clocked him driving 60 miles an hour on Albert Pike on the north side of the city.
"The speed limit is 30 so the speed of the vehicle, and the officer put in his report ran a stop light at Albert Pike and Grand, and that's when he turned around on the vehicle to initiate a stop at that point," Sgt. Daniel Grubbs told 5NEWS.
It turns out the car was stolen from Coleman Pharmacy on Grand. The suspect would later tell officers that he had been at a local tavern and needed a ride. Lindley reportedly told police he spotted the keys inside and broke in. The suspect ignored the officer's flashing lights. The pursuit that started at Albert Pike led to the Midland bridge. That's when Van Buren officers took over. But Lindley simply took Highway 59 along the Arkansas River and doubled back into Fort Smith.
The Van Buren officer stayed a safe distance back even though traffic was light. Lt. Brent Grill says they are aware of public safety and try not to push suspects. Finally, the car took the Kelley Highway exit and pulled over at the Valero gas station directly across the street from the Arkansas State Police. an officer pulled the suspect out, and just as he did, the car started to roll. A quick thinking cop quickly jumped in and put it in park.
Police believe Lindley may have been intoxicated. He's not only charged with driving while under the influence, but with theft, fleeing, driving with a suspended license, and refusing a breath test. The parolee also had an outstanding felony warrant for failure to appear.

"Supporters of the Colorado project, meanwhile, point out that the bighorn sheep are hunted for sport in the river canyon proposed for the installation. Hunters kill about 3 percent of Colorado’s bighorn sheep each year, and tags to kill 12 of the animals are given out annually in the area where Christo’s work would be installed, said Theo Stein, a spokesman with the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
So far, biologists charged with evaluating the project’s potential effect on the bighorn have taken a cautious approach, writing in a draft environmental impact assessment that the project’s effect on the sheep was “clearly novel and unpredictable.”
One unknown is whether the bighorn will tolerate the presence of the panels, which will be suspended 25 feet in the air, when approaching the river to drink. If the sheep are driven away from the river, it could lead to stress and illness, potentially harming reproduction or survival in the winter, the biologists wrote then."

I agree, there is definitely a world war Dialectic being fermented, it's hard to say for sure what the plan is, but there is definitely something afoot.
I also agree with your statement about Nuclear. These megadeath loving psychopaths would love to use such a device, (I'm talking about elitists, not dumb two-bit terrorists that don't have two bullets to rub together). To think, I remember the time when no one anywhere would dare mention the world nuclear, it being a complete atrocity against Mankind.
