when you can and try to be careful. So this didn’t phase us too
much until we saw a cop behind
us and the cop kept getting closer
and closer.”
The driver’s name was Smitty,
something he revealed to them
and something they picked up on
from the tattoo on his arm. As the
cop followed closely, Ballo noticed
Smitty getting a bit nervous. He
kept sticking his fingernails into
his thumb. After a while, Smitty
decides to take the next exit, so he
puts his blinker on. The cop puts
his blinker on too. Smitty takes
the exit ramp and puts his blinker
on to go over the highway, as
does the cop.
“I don’t remember whether the
cops hit the lights first or Smitty hit
the gas first, but before you know
it we’re being chased!” said Ballo.
Knowing the area, Smitty took
them on a tour of rundown housing projects and dirt roads. The
cop followed them down every
road they took until Smitty finally
gunned the engine. Ballo remembers dirt all over the place, the car
fishtailing at the end of the road
and Smitty opening his door and
taking off, leaving the pair of teenagers.
