I know there's a timely Charlie Sheen joke to be made here, but I'd feel like Jay Leno doing it. You guys are clever people. Make some in the comments section.
Anyway, a couple of nights ago, Kansas City police officer Bobby Irvin found 50-year-old Tim Gormley behind the wheel of his car, out of gas on Interstate 435. He was wearing his pajamas and ranting about finding his ex-girlfriend, so he could inflict some grievous bodily harm. Normally, Gormley would be in a lot of trouble because he was clearly high on something. Lucky for him, that something turned out to be bath salts.
Irwin told Fox 4: "He looked like he hadn't slept in days. He said he was looking for (his ex) so he could do some bodily harm to her."
Under the law, Gormley's ex would have to actually receive the threat for him to be arrested for that part of the rant. He also got off the hook for driving under the influence because Irwin didn't actually see him driving the car and because, again, bath salts are completely legal.
The salts mimic the effects of cocaine and meth and are sold over the counter in various head shops and gas stations, though lawmakers at both the state and national levels are already calling for bans. Both Missouri and Kansas have legislation pending.
I really want to request the dash-cam video from Irvin's patrol car. You know this had to be an amazing exchange.
