In Boston yesterday, a drunken homeless man with a lengthy criminal record decided to have a little fun. He jumped into an unattended police car (Smirnoff firmly clenched in one hand) and took it for a joyride, tearing around Beantown, yelling at people to “Pull over!”, for at least an hour before someone figured he might not be a real cop and called 911.
Mr. Jeffrey Jarocz (and you gotta see the picture that goes with the story) is being held on $100,000 bail and faces charges of drunken driving, impersonating a police officer and stealing a motor vehicle.
The really stupid thing he did was not to legally change his name before he jumped in the cruiser. After all, if he was Joseph Jarocz KENNEDY, he likely would have been given a ride to the nearest shelter to sleep it off.
Was he charged with impersonating an officer or impersonating a Massachusetts legislator?
He looks like Wade Boggs.
I’m glad to know the Boston P.D. has a good sense of humor. Making him wear the police hat for the mug shot is priceless & it’s sure to be a fixture on TheSmokingGun.com‘s mug shot page!
Ok now that hat looks photshopped.
The funny part isn’t the homeless guy swiping a car and driving around yelling “pull-over”.
The funny part is that it took an hour for anyone to distinguish between a homeless man swigging vodka and yelling “pull-over” and one of Boston’s finest…
That picture looks like someone photoshopped the hat on top of Nick Nolte’s mug shot.
The really stupid thing he did was not to legally change his name before he jumped in the cruiser. After all, if he was Joseph Jarocz KENNEDY, he likely would have been given a ride to the nearest shelter to sleep it off.
He should have changed his name to CHENEY.
Then he could go shooting people in the face, and likely be protected from the media by the secret service.
