DWI suspect stops for bathroom break during chase

From KRQE-TV.com - ALBUQUERQUE - A drunk driver learned just how painful a beanbag gun can be. He also learned you don't make obscene gestures at police, and you don't stop to zip down your pants and relieve yourself in the middle of a chase. Dashcam video shows the driver, now identified at Estevan Tapia, 26, swerving all over I-25 Tuesday night. He stopped and got out twice, each time giving police the middle finger salute. The second time he stopped he got out and took a bathroom break, beer bottle in hand, before deputies dropped him with the two shots from a beanbag gun. Tapia has been arrested more than a dozen times. The 26-year-old already has four DWI convictions. We won't know how drunk Tapia was for a few weeks because they had to draw his blood at the hospital. Deputies took him to the hospital because they wanted to make sure the bean bags didn't do any serious damage. If Tapia's convicted of a fifth DWI, he faces one to two years behind bars. Read more
