MinnesotaSoxFan Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Police chase Blues Brother impersonator at Crystal airport CRYSTAL, Minn. Police responding to a report of an Elvis impersonator down with convulsions at a vetrans hall soon found themselves in a high-speed chase - of a man dressed as a Blues Brother. "Man, just when I thought that I had seen everything in this business, you realize you haven't scratched the surface," Capt. Dave Oyaas said Tuesday. According to Oyaas: Officers were called about 11 am Monday to the VFW hall in this Twin Cities suburb, where they found a man dressed as Elvis on the ground outside. He appeared to be in convulsions. When the officers arrived, the man stopped, jumped up and yelled "Viva Las Vegas!" and began singing show tunes. At about the same time, two women who were with the impersonator said another man dressed as John Belushi's character in "The Blues Brothers" had stolen their Pontaic Sunbird and driven to a nearby commuter airport. The officers found the man in the car parked between two hangars. That prompted a chase in and out of hangars and runways that reached speeds up to 75 mph. Officers finally forced the car to spin out and arrested the man, who suffered a cut on his head. The men were taken to a hospital for medical exams, but not before the Elvis impersonator sang "Jailhouse Rock" for officers, said Oyaas. Elvis, 27, was sent home, but the Belushi impersonator was being held Tuesday pending formal charges that could include: fleeing police and drunken driving. Oyaas said that the Elvis impersonator could be charged for disorderly conduct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
