If this was my son I would have kicked his butt.

A man who traded his father’s Lincoln for $50 in crack was arrested Wednesday, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office says.

Deputies went just after 4 a.m. to the 5000 block of South Geneva Avenue, where the 74-year-old man said his 39-year-old son had taken his car.

Deputies were still at the home when the son walked up the street, sheriff’s spokesman Chris Curtice said. They learned that the son had traded the car for drugs near G Street in downtown Fresno. Deputies saw the car near Ventura Avenue and G and tried to pull it over, but the driver ran from the car, which was still rolling. He was caught after a foot chase, but the Lincoln struck two parked cars.
