Man chewed through police car seat belt as he didn't want to miss his son's birthday party

A Chicago man who was arrested on Monday is accused of chewing through a squad car seat belt because he didn’t want to miss his son’s birthday party, police said.

Lashon Stuckey, 33, was arrested just before 2pm and charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of criminal damage to property, according to Chicago Police.



Police alleged Stuckey was seen conducting a suspected narcotics transaction and was arrested. He was found in possession of several bags of heroin.

While in a squad car, Stuckey chewed his way through the seat belt. Stuckey then told officers it was his son’s birthday and he didn’t want to miss it. He appeared in court on Tuesday and was held in lieu of $75,000 bail.
