Drop the Scales of Justice on this clown...of course after he is allowed his day in court. After all...we don't know what made his car and his actions suspicous to the police initially. As of now we can't really say why he ran from the Cops and of course we cannot prove the heroin was actually in his possession or that it was his...I mean he could have been holding it for a friend. I'm countng on the Cops involved to provide a detailed report that answer's all those questions. I'm also counting on them to provide the evidence needed to support LOCKING THIS MEATBALL UP FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!!!

A month of unsupervised probation ought to straighten him out.
