Detroit Police Hunts Down Freeway-blocking Red Camaro
Senseless owners block off part of I-94 to do donuts on the freeway in their Camaro, jamming up traffic for miles.
It’s fun to do crazy things with your LS-powered Camaro. Taking it out on the track? Go nuts! Doing a burnout on a drag strip? That’s what they’re for. Making donuts in an abandoned parking lot? Better than doing it on the street?
Blocking an interstate highway to stunt before a group of fellow idiots and dirtbags, creating a huge traffic jam behind you? Not cool at all. Yet, that’s what happened in Detroit December 22. According to the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Police Department are on the hunt for the driver of the red Camaro behind the latest sideshow in Motown.
“Let me start out by saying none of them can drive,” Detroit Police Chief James Craig told local ABC affiliate WXYZ-TV. “They are not professional race car drivers.”
According to WXYZ-TV, the police had caught one of the other participants in the takeover on I-94, Tommie Mahone of Eastpointe, Michigan. Mahone was wanted on charges of reckless driving and failure to stop for injuring a spectator at another Detroit sideshow back in early November. Mahone was among those who helped to block traffic December 22.
The I-94 sideshow was the latest put on by a group known on Instagram as TSNLS (“Turnt Shit, No Lame Shit,” according to CarBuzz). The group was also involved in a sideshow on the John C. Lodge Freeway in June, where a green Dodge Charger was the center of attention. A few days later, Detroit PD arrested the owner of said Charger, all with the help of its appearance on social media.
“We are not going to tolerate this blatant disregard for public safety in our city,” Craig wrote on Facebook back in June.
The hunt for the Camaro (which may either be red or orange, per Craig) is ongoing as of this writing. It likely won’t be long before its driver is caught, even if the license plate was blurred in the Instagram video below, and the windows are tinted.
