California Driver Busted Using Chucky Doll as Carpool Passenger
“Shut up and drive, before I kick your teeth in.” – Chucky, Child’s Play 2.
Remember that scene in Child’s Play 2 where Chucky forces Kyle to drive him to Andy? The image of Chucky riding shotgun in a car is no doubt an unusual one; even more unusual if you were to encounter such a thing in the real world. And one police officer in California indeed did last week, after pulling over a driver in Contra Costa County.
Over the weekend, the Contra Costa police department shared a hilarious photo of a Chucky doll belted into the front passenger seat of a car, noting that a driver had brought Chucky up to the front seat in the hopes that it’d allow her to drive in the carpool lane.
“This seriously happened today,” the department captioned the photo on Facebook. They added, “Hilarious! A for effort… and here’s your carpool ticket.”
Hey, gotta give points for creativity!
Can you believe this year marks the 25TH ANNIVERSARY of Bloody Disgusting?! Yes, it was way back in 2001 that Brad Miska and Tom Owen launched this very website, with yours truly taking over as Editor-in-Chief around 10 years ago. It’s been the highlight of my life to run and write for this website every single day of those past 10 years, and one of the very best things about writing for Bloody Disgusting is the community that’s kept us alive all these years.
It’s thanks to you, the readers and supporters of Bloody Disgusting, that we get to keep doing this for a living, and we’re deeply proud of the fact that we’ve continued to have an engaged and active readership over the years and throughout the many changes we’ve had to weather.
We’re not going anywhere anytime soon, and we hope you’re not either.
On that note, we thought it might be fun to fire up monthly discussion threads where you can essentially use the comments sections of those articles to ask us anything. Sure, we’re always hanging around in the comments sections of different articles here and there when we can, but these will be dedicated spaces that we can repeatedly come back to throughout each month to answer questions and chat about what’s going on in the world of horror.
For the month of June 2026, this is that discussion thread. Feel free to come on back here any day throughout June to ask us literally anything, or start up a discussion on any topic of your choosing. Whenever we’ve got some spare time in between writing articles, we’ll pop in here and engage back with as many of those comments as we possibly can.
As long as you’re being pleasant, even if you’re expressing disagreements with our opinions or frustrations with anything we’re doing, the conversation will be more than welcome.
So go ahead… ASK BLOODY DISGUSTING ANYTHING!
