A man tries to outrun police with two children in the car, slams into police patrol car then claims GTA made him think he could do it.
A New York resident was sentenced to seven years in prison for second-degree assault and first-degree attempted assault, a result of a 55 minute police chase. It all started on August 5 when police tried to pull the man over for a parole violation. He decided to make a run for it with his SUV and his girlfriend's 11 year old daughter and her 10 year old cousin in the car. Luckily the two girls decided to use their GTA skills for good as they managed to jump out of the moving vehicle and were rescued. 55 minutes later the SUV slammed into two cars, one of them a police cruiser, and the GTA fan was arrested.
Unfortunately he will not be released outside his local police station minus weapons and some cash although he got close to the hospital stage. A police officer had to be treated for light injuries as a result of the chase.
When asked by the police why he fled, the man responded that he was pretty good at escaping police while playing GTA on Playstation and thought his skills may be transferable. For God's sake how are we going to keep airline pilots away from Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII.
