The police stop him for speeding with his Rolls-Royce. They end up arresting him for drunk driving, drug trafficking… and for having a monkey as his companion

If I had to choose a car to carry out a few crimes, I highly doubt it would be one as flashy as a Rolls-Royce Ghost white in color. However, a criminal did not think that way.

The police arrested him in California due to speeding, but that injury was only the tip of the iceberg. When they searched the car they found much more.

There are times when reality surpasses fiction. If a screenwriter had written the story that has just been released California Highway Patrol (California Highway Police, United States), we would say that he has a prodigious imagination.

And there are people who seem to live in another world, like the protagonist of this story, the driver of a striking white Rolls-Royce Ghost who was stopped by California Highway Patrol agents. speeding. Until then, everything is normal (or at least relatively normal because a Rolls-Royce is not just any car). After all, everyone can be careless and go faster than they should.

Everything began to go wrong (a little more) when the agents verified that the driver was under the influence of alcohol. We are already talking about a serious crime, but the story does not end there. Not at all. In addition to being drunk, the driver of this Rolls-Royce was under the influence of drugs.

So far we have three crimes: speeding, drunk driving and drugged driving. But it wasn’t enough. The police searched the Rolls-Royce and found inside several mobile phones, a lot of cash and a lot of marijuana in glass jars and plastic bags, enough to be considered drug trafficking.

It may be considered normal in a Guy Ritchie film, but it is worth remembering that this is a real case. And there’s more: in addition to finding several cell phones, a lot of cash and a lot of marijuana, the agents found a monkey, specifically a baby monkey. spider monkey.
