Washington State Man Arrested With Bong Mounted To Car Dashboard

Following an arrest of the driver, Washington State police determined the man had nearly 100 prior arrests, according to ABC 7 News. The driver was arrested while walking down a street near where the vehicle was parked and has been booked into Thurston County Jail, according to the report.
