Given this fellow’s apparent condition and the results of the subsequent police search I feel like the presence of the potato might be some kind of drug thing, but I don’t know. I don’t know and I kind of don’t want to. It’s so much more fun to imagine that buddy just happened to have a potato handy.
According to Guelph police, they responded to a crash just after 4 a.m. on Tuesday in the city’s east end.
When officers arrived, the man was sleeping behind the wheel of his SUV after crashing while pulling a trailer.
Police woke him, asked him to hand over his keys, and he handed the officers a potato.
After obtaining the keys and getting him out of the car, they also found multiple narcotics pipes in the vehicle.
