Spokane Pastor Rams Police Cars with Corvette

It's like something out of a movie. From The SpokesmanReview :

The altercation began with a report of a possible kidnapping and assault at the Shari's Restaurant at Indiana and Monroe Street, said Spokane police Officer Jennifer DeRuwe.

DeRuwe said one female employee was restrained, another tried to help and then a male customer reportedly stepped in, and Lewis allegedly assaulted him. A Shari's employee called police.

After the police stopped the car:

DeRuwe said officers reported that Lewis was confrontational when they approached him, refusing to get out of the Corvette.

"He had already shown his total disregard for public safety," said DeRuwe of the police decision to Taser the man.

Witnesses said they heard Lewis talking about Jesus.

"He was yelling, 'I'm God. You can't do anything to me,' " said Maurice Frye, who witnessed the confrontation from a nearby business. "He would not let go of the steering wheel."

Lewis was taken to the hospital to be examined for injuries and undergo a mental health evaluation before he was booked into jail.

No, really, a mental health evaluation? Really??

Oh, and about that Corvette:

The 2005 Corvette was borrowed from Camp Chevrolet over the weekend on a kind of extended test drive with the intent to purchase it.

I got this from the Slog, which references KREM's story.
