Getting arrested can be stressful, so it makes sense why you might want a cigarette. However, it's not the best time and it's certainly not appropriate. Especially after you just led officers on a police chase. They probably aren't very eager to help you out nor would they want to bum you a cig if they had them. Can't blame him for trying!
Florida Man Begs Officers To Bum Him A Cigarette After Arrest
The incident happened in Volusia, Florida. According to FOX 13 News, deputies with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office pursued a suspected carjacker in the Daytona Beach Shores area. That suspect was later identified as Grant Hagood-James. FOX 13 News reports that the victim says Hagood-James begged him for a ride and once in the vehicle he pulled a gun and forced the driver out of the car.
After a chase, he was later found in the water off of a Port Orange restaurant. Once apprehended, he reportedly asked the officers for a smoke and even said please. However, the deputies reportedly just laughed. Ouch. You can see his mugshot provided by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office below.
