Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2004 Stoned Del. student gets lost in Conn. Associated Press 07/11/2004 A Delaware college student ate a bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms and drove around in a pair of stolen cars before arriving, confused, on a mountain in northwest Connecticut police said. Paul Cunningham, 21, hiked to a nearby home Thursday night and asked to call 911, police said. "I think I stole a car," Cunningham told a dispatcher. "I'm not sure." Police said Cunningham, of Dover, Del., confessed that eating an entire bag of mushrooms, "probably wasn't a good idea." He allegedly told investigators that he had no idea how many laws he broke during a three-day excursion that took him 300 miles from home. A student at Wilmington College, he told a state trooper that he bought the drugs in Dover on Monday, according to the Republican-American of Waterbury. The next day, he went for a drive and twice got lost in Connecticut. He told police he remembers taking a train to LaGuardia Airport in New York, where he found a car with its keys in it. He's unsure where he went from there. "I once again found myself lost in Connecticut," Cunningham reportedly told police. After locking the keys in the stolen car, Cunningham allegedly stole a van from a Southbury rest stop. In Canaan, he decided to climb Music Mountain to see what was on the other side, police said. Investigators believe the exercise cleared Cunningham's head. "I want to correct my mistakes," Cunningham reportedly told Trooper Andre Roy. "In retrospect, this was a bad idea." He volunteered a written confession, police said. He was arraigned Friday and was held on $2,500 bail. Both stolen vehicles were recovered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest combat_rock Report post Posted July 17, 2004 Well, I don't think they'll let him go, although they might give him special consideration, especially if the stolen cars are undamaged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
