34-year old Vincent Wade needs rehab or jail time very soon before he kills himself or someone else. On Monday morning (January 27) Wade, of Pennsauken, New Jersey, was driving in Philadelphia when he crashed into a Crown Fried Chicken restaurant. He then took off his clothes and started to pleasure himself in the middle of a busy intersection.

A passerby filmed the incident and told Philly Mag, “Oh, he was most definitely making himself feel happy.”

Vincent was arrested and charged with DUI, but not public lewdness. Police issued the following statement.

On January 27, 2014, at approximately 10:30 am, police responded to 500 West Lehigh Avenue for an auto accident. Upon their arrival officers observed a vehicle on the curbside of the southwest corner of 5th & Lehigh Avenue. The male operator was seated in the driver’s seat of a 2007 Silver Camry with no shirt on. The male was asked to step out of the vehicle and when he, did the male was unable to stand on his own. His clothes were torn off and he was unable to respond to police questions. Witnesses to the accident stated that the male was operating his vehicle west on Lehigh Avenue and then veered across the intersection at 5th Street and drove on to the curb hitting a fixed object. After the accident, the male operator exited the vehicle and began removing his clothing and yelling. He then attempted to drive off; however, someone was able to remove the keys and hold them until police arrived. The operator was identified as 34 year old ######### from Pennsauken, New Jersey. He was charged with Driving Under the Influence; no injuries reported.

Philly Mag reports that it was Vincent's fourth DUI in Philadelphia. He also has a lengthy criminal history in New Jersey where he's been charged with narcotics possession, assault and has a disorderly persons conviction. A 2013 weapons charge was dismissed.

A lot of Americans want Justin Bieber to head back to Canada for good. The 19-year old pop star has gotten under the skin of 109,047 U.S. citizens as of this posting, who have signed a petition to get his green card revoked. That's more than enough to get an official response from the White House. 

According to TMZ, a response is required for any petition filed on the official White House website that gathers 100,000 signatures within 30 days. This one reached that figure in just 6 days.

Here's what it says:

We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture. We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nations youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.

Will the Obama administration send Justin packing? That's doubtful, but it will at least be considered.
