| Darren Daniels ran up multiple felonies because he just wanted a cig |
Our tale begins when his wife Kaela smoked their last cig. But instead of simply going out to buy another pack -- the option preferred by most smokers -- Darren decided to go bat-shit crazy. Kaela says he banged his head on the wall, smashing a hole through the drywall. She was scared enough to first lock herself in the bathroom, then flee outside to hide in some bushes in her pajamas...
That's when Darren decided to kill the couple's pet rat, even though it surely didn't take the last cig. Darren banged its head against an aquarium, then choked if before feeding it to his other rats, who promptly ate it.
He then fled in his mother's car and wouldn't stop when deputies tried to pull him over. They had to use spike strips to get him to stop. Darren's mother, in what might be construed as understatement, told police her son "lacks self control and needs to grow up and act like an adult."
His list of charges over one cigarette: felony animal cruelty, battery, and fleeing officers. Perhaps even worse: the Volusia County Jail doesn't allow smoking.
