Police pulled over a car in the Riverside neighborhood on Wednesday because it was driving erratically. As the officer approached the window, the driver was just finishing off a line of heroin from his hand. Seriously. The Tribune writes:

"Mr. (Eduardo) Perez was snorting and licking his hands as the officer was standing at the driver side window asking Mr. Perez to produce his driver's license," Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel said in the release. "Mr. Perez's actions displayed a total disregard of the safety of other motorists who were traveling on Harlem on a Wednesday morning."

Perez, 31, was charged with possession and DUI, along with a number of traffic citations.
