A reckless motorist in Tempe, Arizona, just got nailed after pushing a souped-up Corvette to a mind-bending 140 mph during not one, but two chaotic sprints from cops. The guy already had a rap sheet for doing doughnuts and revving his engine like a maniac in quiet neighborhoods before they finally reeled him in with that nifty tire-popping grappler gadget.

Turns out this clown had been posting clips of himself tearing across the Mill Avenue bridge like it was a personal racetrack. Locals had been fuming about some lunatic in a ‘Vette playing real life Fast & Furious with their morning commute, swerving between lanes and stomping the gas with zero regard for stoplights. So when officers rolled up the first time? Yeah, he bolted—blowing through intersections like they were mere suggestions.
Fast forward 24 hours. Spotted again. This time, rather than chasing this maniac into another death race, Tempe PD played it smart. One triggered grappler later, and that gleaming sports car was neutralized like a fanged snake—no crashes, no carnage.
Booked on felony evasion and wanton endangerment charges, the driver now gets to admire his ride from behind bars while it collects dust in impound. Cops aren’t sugarcoating it: these stunts get people killed, and they’re cracking down hard.
Street racing’s become Tempe’s latest headache, with morons treating public roads like Daytona. The department’s doubling down on patrols, even rolling out high-tech countermeasures to clip the wings of these speed demons. Translation? Floor it, and you’ll meet the grappler. Or cuffs. Maybe both.
