Or the Police Made that Part of the Story Up. It's Been Known to Happen
A man who paused to smoke crack cocaine while being chased on foot was arrested early Sunday on car theft and credit card charges. . . .
Police said he scaled a fence near Captain's Cove Seaport and smoked crack cocaine before he ran through the seaport and stood on a boat.
He smoked more crack before officers pulled him down from the boat by his coat and arrested him, police said.
Perry Quinton, 45, of Sedgewick Avenue, Stratford, was charged with second-degree larceny, first-degree criminal trover, attempted illegal use of a credit card and two counts of credit card theft.
Perry Quinton, however, was not charged with criminal use or possession of crack cocaine, because, contrary to popular belief, smoking crack is not illegal in the state of Connecticut.
Good to know.

Funny story. . . but I got the bigger laugh from the one involving the three men who paid a prostitute $20 for sex only to get robbed of their cash, wallets, shoes and cell phones. That one of them got his pants stolen was the best part.
I like that both stories occurred in the PT Barnum Housing Projects.
I'm sure he was thinking, "Crack cocaine, use it or lose it..."
