Ronald Caplina was injecting heroin before he crashed into a police car in Slidell, Louisiana, according to police.
After the Monday afternoon crash, police officers went over to Caplina’s 2004 Lincoln LS and asked him about the crash.
Caplina, 32, didn’t give them a clear answer. Police found a syringe, along with what is suspected to be heroin, inside the car, and the syringe had dried blood on the needle while Caplina had fresh injection marks on his arm, reported WAFB.
The police officer and Caplina both suffered minor injuries from the crash.
Caplina was cited with careless operation, driving under suspension, and not wearing a seat belt. He was arrested and charged with possession of a schedule I narcotic (heroin) and possession of drug paraphernalia.
