So he had a kilo of coke in the air bag compartment... here's my question: did he just remove the air-bag, or the whole propulsion mechanism? I'd hate to tap the car in front of me, have my air bag compartment open up, only to get hit in the face with a kilo of coke at 60mph.
Then again, it would make for a great Darwin award.
Shaun Kelley is also the husband of Mary Lou Retton.
Cocaine in the airbag reminds me of the scene in True Romance where the hooker dumps coke all over Balki Bronson Pinchot during a traffic stop.
