A Florida man who, in a desperate attempt to dispose of his cocaine, had the misfortune of throwing it directly on the hood of the police car that was pursuing him and a friend.

The Smoking Gun reports that Kissimmee Police Officer Christopher Breuer began trailing the vehicle last Wednesday after it almost struck his police car. Despite making it obvious that he was trying to pull them over, they continued to evade him. That's when Breuer noticed the vehicle's sun roof open, a hand extend from out of it, and a plastic bag come flying backwards onto his roof. Game over.

The vehicle finally pulled over into a 7-Eleven parking lot, allowing Officer Breuer to confront the driver and his passenger. It also gave 30-year-old Luis Vazquez the opportunity to deny disposing of the cocaine, and 38-year-old Jose Vales the opportunity to rat him out. 

Both Vazquez and Vales were arrested on several drug offenses, and Vazquez was slapped with additional charges for tampering with evidence.
