Wow, it's just like being stuck listening to some drunk idiot ramble his way through made up stories about his hella epic road trip!

And then I'm like and then the dude is like and then I'm like and then he's like and I'm like

And they're totally making this totally real story into a movie https://twitter.com/IamShaneMorris/status/113108889397617459...

He basically, totally, like, admitted to interstate drug trafficking.

What's the statue of limitations on that? I'll bet he changes his story in a hurry to 'I made it all up'.

There's probably a mens rea (intent) requirement, which arguably wouldn't be satisfied if he didn't know (or have reason to know) that the heroin was in the van until he was in Oregon (where he sold the heroin). And there a good chance that the statute for state level crimes would have run already. Hopefully he talked to a lawyer before writing this up!

Yeah, I got the same impression. The story reeks of bullshit.

Would be a good /r/thatHappened/ post though.

It sure seems totally real. He also seems like a totally real sociopath!

You know, I never really thought about the mechanic, or what happened to him afterwards. It's kinda like when you're playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and you see someone tied up on the back of a horse, but you're on a mission, so you're just like, "Sorry I can't help. Good luck!"
