FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Officials say a suspected drug dealer who led police on a 144-kilometre-per-hour chase in Indiana was arrested after he stopped suddenly at a Taco Bell parking lot.

Fort Wayne police Sgt. Mark Walters says 36-year-old Jermaine Askia Cooper told officers he "knew he was going to jail for a while" and wanted to get one last burrito. Cooper was held without bail on four counts of dealing cocaine, one count of resisting arrest by fleeing and other charges.

A voicemail box at a listing for a Jermaine Cooper in Fort Waine was full and not accepting messages. Police say the chase began Tuesday after officers spotted Cooper, who was wanted on other charges, and tried to pull him over.

Sounds like this guy really needed a cheesy gordita crunch eh? Ah, I really just posted this to talk about my impending move to the border (Harlingen). I got done packing almost all of my stuff today. So in the next 4-5 days I beg your forgiveness as blogs will be sporadic or non-existent but I promise you once I arrive in the Valley the BYB will be in full effect.
