NIGHTTIME DASHCAM FOOTAGE WITH AUDIO THAT KICKS IN WHEN SIRENS GO ON, POLICE CAR RACING TO SCENE OF SOMETHING, SUDDENLY HE COMES UPON A STALLED CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, NO LIGHTS BLINKING OR ANYTHING, COPS WAKE THE GUY UP INSIDE AND HE TRIES TO TAKE OFF AND GIVES THEM A WEAK SHORT HIGH SPEED CHASE, THEN CATCH UP TO HIM, HE PULLS OVER AND THEY CUFF HIM
McKinley County sheriff's deputies say a driver was so drunk that he passed out right on I-40. The driver didn’t pull onto the shoulder to stop, but in the westbound lanes as traffic was moving by. A dash cam video of the recent incident was provided by the sheriff's department. Deputies say Wainright Tso was out cold when they approached the car. They say he had the car in drive and his foot was on the brake. Deputies say they were about to smash out his window because his doors were locked, when Tso suddenly woke up and took off. But before Tso got away, a reserve deputy on the scene popped Tso's tire with a service knife. The chase stopped a short while after. "Fortunately for him, and everybody else, we came long when we did-- because somebody was going to die," said Sgt. Goins, who slashed the tire. Deputies say is Tso's 2nd DWI arrest. They arrested him just 30 days ago for another DWI.
