A man covered in gold spray paint was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs in Richmond on Wednesday night after allegedly hitting three cars on Interstate 80 and leading California Highway Patrol officers on a brief chase before a wheel fell off his car, authorities said.
An off-duty police officer witnessed the beginning of the mayhem when the man, identified as 21-year-old Damaj Cook, struck multiple cars on eastbound I-80 near the Ashby Avenue exit in Berkeley, said Officer Sean Wilkenfeld, a CHP spokesman.
The officer followed Cook toward Richmond and, as he was in pursuit, received a description of the driver as being gold.
As Cook neared the Central Avenue off-ramp, one of the wheels fell off his car, forcing him to stop. The officer approached the vehicle and realized the description of the suspect was accurate as the man was covered head-to-toe in gold spray paint, Wilkenfeld said. more at link: http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article...I-80-hit-and-run-in-7008322.php#photo-9696582
