Blues Brothers, Elvis impersonators con police
October 13, 2004 (CRYSTAL, Minn.) — Minnesota police were responding to a call of a convulsing Elvis Presley impersonator -- but they ended up in a high-speed chase with a man dressed as one of the Blues Brothers.
Crystal police say they were called to a veterans hall Monday morning and when they arrived they saw a man dressed as Elvis on the ground convulsing. But when they approached, he jumped up and yelled "Viva Las Vegas!" -- and then started singing show tunes.
At about the same time, two women said a man dressed as John Belushi's character in "The Blues Brothers" had stolen their car and driven to the airport. Police went after him -- and after chasing him around the airport, they caught and arrested him.
The police captain says "it's one of those things that you stop and scratch your head, and you think...'Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?"' He says the Elvis impersonator and the fake Blues Brother were drinking together at the VFW. When asked how much they drank, he said blood tests will probably indicate "quite a bit."
