Well, the word on the street is, he got arrested today, and his truck got impounded after he was caught going in triple digits and decided not to stop. No news sites are updated yet, so I’m going to wait on the official word. Link to original thread, and inside to the Times Union article [http://shift518.com/index.php?topic=302.0](http://shift518.com/index.php?topic=302.0) Unless somebody else heard about this, I’ll wait for official confirmation. This could get ugly however :runaway ---

I informed Vlad of this story…Apparently his truck was impounded after he was caught in triple digits, tried fleeing from the cops and obv. got caught. They were trying to charge him with as much as possible, which includes the nitrous he has in his truck :idiots :confused , although it’s not illegal. Not sure on his exact punishment or what’s going to happen, i just heard through word of mouth. :nod ---

His truck was uninsured and unregistered. He was arrested and the truck was impounded. He was released after posting $100 bail. Where the hell did this running from the cops story come from?
