FOX: A man being chased by Florida deputies for grand theft and burglary made a pit stop to inject heroin, authorities said.
John Quincey Stephens, 30, was at a relative’s home Monday when two detectives pursued him, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Stephens initially ran off before stealing his relative’s vehicle and leading police on a long chase.
The wanted man eventually abandoned the vehicle and continued back on foot to his relative’s home, where the pursuit had started, police said.
Stephens was apprehended by K-9 Deputy Michael Donahue and his dog Tipster, who bit the suspect during the chase.
The wanted man later told police that he was “taking a shot” of heroin during the car chase. He apologized for what he did while high on the drug.
Stephens was treated at a local hospital for his injuries and then booked at Marion County Jail.
The man was originally wanted for grand theft of a motor vehicle, fraud and two counts of burglary of a conveyance. After the chase, cops added several new charges.

You know, high speed chases are stressful and sometimes you just need to relax right now.
What the hell, I watch a lot of police shows and they always have commercial breaks….doesn’t this guy get the same???
Priorities
Let me go to jail high, man!
That should give an idea of just how insanely addictive narcotics are. He new he was going to get caught but had to fix before surrendering. Another wasted life.
What do you expect from a Chevy man?
Ahhh Florida Man. What would we do without him?
“JUNK! The pause that refreshes!”

Neck tattoo, always the sign of a highly evolved human being. NOT.
He had to hook himself up. He knew he was going to jail and wanted that last high. lol
At least the deputies didn’t go to the dunkin donut while the perp took a pit stop. Right?
