Florida man claims he was driving car with 2 missing tires because of a 'curse': 'That is paranormal activity'
[FoxNews] The driver claimed someone put a curse on him and he was faced with only two choices: drive home without tires or set the car on fire.

[FoxNews] A Florida man driving a vehicle missing two tires was pulled over by law enforcement and alleged that paranormal activity was responsible.

Andres Orjuela-Montealegre, 29, was stopped on an Interstate 75 ramp near Marion Oaks on October 23 at about 4 a.m. after Marion County Sheriff’s deputies noticed the vehicle's hazard lights were on and that the tires on the driver's side appeared deflated.

A deputy then realized that the tires were not deflated but were missing and Orjuela-Montealegre was "driving on what remained of the rim," the sheriff's office wrote on Facebook.

When asked about the damage to the vehicle, Orjuela-Montealegre told the deputy someone had put a curse on him and that he had hit a curb too hard. The driver said he was given a "do or die" choice in which he could either drive home without tires or set the car on fire and sleep on the median, body camera footage shows.

The driver was then instructed to step out of the vehicle but appeared unsteady on his feet. The deputy asked him to perform field sobriety tests.
All sorts of stupidities were done by Mr. Orjuela-Montealegre, at the end of which:
Orjuela-Montealegre faces up to 25 and a half years behind bars. He is being held on a $27,000 bond.
Life is harder when you’re stupid.

#1 ...I just can NOT imagine being so hammered that this story seemed like a reasonable explanation.
