Albuquerque –
A popular Instagram account called stolen_scat has been posting dangerous videos of a red Dodge Challenger driving at high rates of speed throughout Albuquerque Streets and freeways. The videos are created with a GoPro camera attached to the car’s rear end. The videos show short clips of the driver fleeing from law enforcement who then try to conduct traffic stops on the vehicle. In the videos the account has shown Bernalillo County, New Mexico State Police and Albuquerque Police being taunted by this car and its wanna be famous driver.
A post showing Farias fleeing from a New Mexico State police officer at an unknown date.
It should be noted, due to safety issues law enforcement do not pursue vehicles that flee at a high rate of speed unless a violent felony has been committed before or during the pursuit.
On June 27th, 2024, the Bernalillo County Deputies conducted a focused operation to find the person behind the account and located the car in the Southwest part of Albuquerque in a parking lot. According to a criminal complaint, 19-year-old Anthony Farias was showing off his car to a group of people. He was also lighting fireworks and tossing them in the air for a low budget pre-4th of July car show.
Bernalillo County Deputies established a plan to surround the car and take Farias into custody. When deputies moved in, Farias tried to escape by fleeing in the Dodge Challenger at a high rate of speed. BCSO deputies contained him inside the parking lot and he stayed in his vehicle while reaching down for something inside. Public address announcements were made and Farias eventually exited the vehicle and was taken into custody.
The complaint says Farias seemed to not take the situation seriously and told the deputy he was “just chilling.” BCSO sealed his car and impounded it.
Farias will now be just chillin in the Bernalillo County Detention Center and it is likely other law enforcement agencies will file more charges against him.
They should scrap the car and make him watch.
agree or keep it and make it a cop car and “put coming for you street racers maker sure to thank your other street racing buddy 19-year-old Anthony Farias for the amazing car continue and we will have your car next!!!!”
Give him 5 years in the pen, since he’s so non-chalant about endangering the public. He won’t mind 5 years of chill.
They should impound his car and take the bus for a year, that would show this people they can’t be doing stupid stuff like this…
This is the same type of guy that just killed a man at Coors and Sevilla 2 month ago street racing. Please make an example and do the right thing. Take the car and put him in jail for 3-5.
