An Illinois deputy K-9 unit clocks a 19-year-old going over 100 miles per hour late into the night on the 4th of July. Now, what's interesting and frankly frustrating about this video is that the officer loses track of the suspect for nearly 2 minutes, during which time the officer shuts off his dash cam and the kid drives through a cornfield. When the officer does find the teenager again, the kid's story does not check out. If you want to hear the charges and our theory on what might have happened, skip to the end. >> Terrible. >> Shut the vehicle off. How many people are in there?

So, the kid was hit with a slew of pretty minor charges, but given that it was the 4th of July, and given that he disappeared into the cornfield for two whole minutes, it is very hard not to suspect that the kid ditched something. Drugs, alcohol, or maybe drunk underage friends while he was out of view. Maybe we are being too suspicious, but we think he got away with something. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
