A naked collegian apparently high on PCP jumped into the hopper of a garbage truck and fought with cops trying to extract him, according to a police report.
Benjamin Abele, a 22-year-old University of Georgia senior, was arrested last Sunday morning after police had to tase him twice during a scuffle. When Abele was finally detained, he was drenched in a slippery, malodorous liquid that had pooled inside the truck’s hopper.
As detailed in an Athens-Clarke County Police Department report, an officer spotted Abele running naked on a downtown Athens street around 2:30 AM. The student then dove into the back of a city sanitation truck.
Upon reaching the truck, the cop spotted Abele “laying in the contents of the hopper which consisted of bags of garbage and about six inches deep of dirty foul liquid seeping from the bags.”
Abele, pictured above, appeared unconcerned that he was basting in the vile juice, cops noted. The student had a “dazed look on his face and his eyes were completely dilated,” which, an investigator “immediately recognized...as a possible manifestation of PCP impairment.”
Officers subsequently struggled with the slick student, who sought to burrow into the hopper. Police--worried that Abele could get lodged in a space that they could not reach--succeeded in placing a handcuff on one of his wrists and began to yank him from the hopper.
When Abele punched and kicked officers, a cop tased the collegian to “little effect.” Abele was then pulled from the garbage truck and pinned to the ground by four officers. Since the 5' 11", 160-pound Abele was still “thrashing” and “fighting with abnormal strength,” he was tased a second time.
Abele was later transferred to an Athens hospital for treatment.
Abele was charged Friday with obstruction of a law enforcement officer, a felony, and public indecency, a misdemeanor. He was freed from custody after posting $16,000 bond.
On his LinkedIn page, Abele describes himself as a "persistent entrepreneur who embraces each failure as a valuable gain of wisdom." In March, Abele and two fellow students (seen below) were awarded $10,000 in the University of Georgia’s Next Top Entrepreneur competition. The trio was honored for a business plan pitching an e-commerce operation that would allow consumers to purchase art online.
Gonna look good on his resume
UGA.... that pretty much explains a lot right there.
Not exactly a resume enhancer. Unless you’re a Dhimmicrat
Was he Buck Naked?
There ought to be a word for this. Garbasm? Trashulus? Hillary Clinton?
Maybe he was self-identifying as a piece of garbage.
He’ll be offered a spot on Clinton’s campaign. Seriously though, tazed twice and still struggling. This is why I don’t rely on non-lethal means like tazers, mace, pepper spray. Sure he was on drugs, but it goes to show it is possible to fight through these things, with enough drugs, madness, or determination. That’s why I’ll stick with something that can render an attacker physically unable to continue due to damage and or rapid blood loss.
Dude might have a future if he cuts out the PCP:
If he wasn’t hurting anyone or holding up the truck I say let him wallow. He’ll eventually come don from his high.
“In the garbage truck or at the University of Georgia?”
As you are, I assume, an USC Gamecock fan, I ask you, what is the difference? It’d be better if he were a Clemson Tiger, granted.
That's not necessarily a bad thing...just ask Brock Turner.
It was a long time ago, but we looked out for our female classmates, but we didn't have to worry about hard drugs, just cheap beer.
Observer: “I wonder who threw out the perfectly good collegian?”
Granted Clemson would be even more entertaining.
Wise Dean Wormer. Every year his words ring more true.
Dayum was that revolting! I would hate being one of the arresting officers. I wouldn’t even put him an a squad car to take him away before hosing him down or throwing him in a pond
“Abele describes himself as a ‘persistent entrepreneur who embraces each failure as a valuable gain of wisdom’”
Then he should learn a lot from this epic fail.
He’s a freak! HE’S SUPER-FREAKY!!!
I once heard that in pig farms, the liquid waste runoff was called “pig liquor.” Can’t find a reference, though.
“pig liquor.”
There is a Hillary gag in there.
