Eventually, police were able to cut him off and make an arrest.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">In Pictures: How GTA 6&#8217;s Jason and Lucia Have Evolved Since 2023<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"Jason and Lucia in the first trailer of GTA 6 (2023)\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">According to the post\u2019s caption, the incident took place in the town of Ripley. The suspect, 28-year-old Jack Vickrage, has been sentenced to 14 months in prison for \u201cadmitting dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, drug-driving, and cannabis possession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cCould&#8217;ve just waited a few more weeks for GTA 6 to drop&#8230; Now Jack&#8217;s in prison for release day,&#8221; the constabulary captioned its post. &#8220;Thirteen years is a long time to wait for the game, but nothing excuses driving like this in real life. Cutting corners and hurtling through residential streets with pedestrians and other vehicles in the middle of the day&#8230; save that stuff for the streets of Vice City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Commenters were thoroughly impressed by the short video, urging the department to \u201cgive the admin early access [to GTA 6]\u201d and saying the \u201cadmin needs a raise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201c15 more days to go, he can watch us play from prison,\u201d another joked.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">GTA 6 launches on November 19. Just this morning, Rockstar confirmed the game\u2019s install size and global release times, saying the preload file can measure up to 212 GB depending on your device. \u201cMake sure you&#8217;ve got ample space to begin pre-loading as soon as possible,\u201d the developer said.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It\u2019s shaping up to be one of the biggest pop culture events in history, with Rockstar going all-out on marketing; they partnered with Miami, Florida for a Vice City-themed takeover and collaborated with the Miami Heat to give them special, GTA 6-themed jerseys. Xbox even debuted an alligator-shaped Xbox Series X today in keeping with the game\u2019s Florida setting, which players can win if they enter a sweepstakes. (And no, it\u2019s not a real alligator.) <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Xbox Series X-Bite Images<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"Image Credits: Xbox\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">There\u2019s just two more weeks until GTA 6 is finally in players\u2019 hands; in the meantime, oodles of fans have made plans to take off work to play it, while others are planning to call out sick on the day.
