A crazy story about Pokémon GO is currently being told by the police from the US state of Washington. There, a player was caught in his car with 8 phones.
What is this story about? A picture was shared by Trooper Rick Johnson, an officer with the Washington State Patrol. The picture shows a holder for 8 smartphones, which was discovered on the passenger seat of a car.
The officer also wrote a few words about the background story, earning some laughs from the readers.
How crazy is the story behind the picture
What does the officer report? He writes that his colleague spoke to a driver who was standing at the roadside. When he approached the driver, he discovered a foam cushion containing 8 phones.
All 8 smartphones were currently playing Pokémon GO. The trainer was doing a Rayquaza raid, as it is the current raid boss.
Apparently, the officer was quite astonished and then took the photo, which his colleague later shared on Twitter.
What consequences does the driver face? Rick Johnson explains that the driver got away with a warning. After all, he was not caught while driving but was just standing at the roadside. He did not commit a crime.
The officer then only advised him to place the 8 phones on the back seat to avoid distractions while driving.
Is this kind of thing a one-off case? There are always crazy stories about trainers. A Taiwanese retiree has attracted attention because he was spotted playing with 23 phones and an interesting holder.
A trainer was caught playing in a closed park and approached. During a search, the police also found a bunch of drugs, which is why the player ended up in jail.
During the current Stardust event, it is advisable to be on foot. It’s worth it:
