A Michigan state lawmaker threatened to call Governor Gretchen Whitmer on cops who arrested him after he crashed his car while drunk, according to a police report.
Rep. Jewell Jones, 26, is accused of driving at twice the drink-drive limit with a loaded gun in his cup holder when he crashed his black Chevy into a ditch on the side of I-96 in Fowlerville, about 65 miles outside of Detroit.
He allegedly taunted state troopers who responded to the scene on April 6, telling them he ran their budget, and was pepper sprayed and tasered twice while resisting arrest, police say.
'I’m telling you if you do, it's not going to be good for you. I run y’all budget bro,' Jones told police, according to the police report.
Jones made history in 2016 by becoming the youngest-ever member of the Michigan House at the age of 21.

He wouldn't be the first pol of whatever color to pull the "do you know who I am?" stunt on the police. However, this adds to his resume for future election to mayor of Detroit seeing as most of their mayors in the past fifty years have been crooks/poltroons.
