Or…”Make him an offer he can’t refuse.”

The File 13 “Crime Flopper Hotline” just received a tip about this one, out of Pasco, Washington:  Seems when 27-year old Eric Arriaga was pulled over this week, the cop spotted the cocaine he had in the center console.

And knowing that he was now up a creek without a paddle, Eric tried to cut a deal.  Yep, he asked the cop if could just forget about the coke…in exchange for a trip to TACO BELL!

That’s right, Eric offered the cop some tasty Taco Bell, if he would just “look the other way”.

But believe it or not, the officer turned down that sweet deal..and arrested him for cocaine possession, and attempted bribery.

( Hey Eric, here’s a pro-tip:  If you’re trying to bribe a cop, maybe it’s best to offer something more than a Fiery Doritos Locos Taco Supreme…and a likely case of heartburn.)
