Drug-addled Clyde to Bonnie: ‘Let’s go out with a bang’ - Blake Bills, 24, and Shayna Sykes, 23, two idiots meant for each other.... BUT NICE RACK!

After three days living on the chilly streets of Camden, coming off a high from heroin and cocaine, Blake Bills told police that "I wanted to be warm and mobile and I saw a police car."

And so began March 5 and what Bills, 24, admitted was a "drug-induced stupid decision."

Actually, a string of them as Bills and his girlfriend, Shayna Sykes, 23, stole the Camden police car and led police in a chase over the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and into North Philadelphia.

Before the day was over, the pair wrecked the Camden cruiser after Bills sideswiped several cars, a tree and then hit a house at Seventh and Norris Streets.

Bills was apprehended when he tried to run but Sykes then swiped a Philadelphia police car and led police on another chase that ended with the cruiser on fire in the 1100 block of Hope Street.

Details of the incident were contained in statements Bills and Sykes gave detectives later that afternoon, which were introduced by the prosecutor at their preliminary hearing Monday in Philadelphia Municipal Court.

Judge Frank T. Brady ordered the couple held on charges involving the theft of the two police cars as well as driving under the influence and counts of assault and reckless endangerment involving people hit, or almost hit, along the way.

Bills faces far more serious charges in New Jersey, where he is accused of hitting the police officer whose car he stole at Federal and Broadway while the officer was out doing a car stop.

According to his statement to Philadelphia detectives, Bills was upset when the Camden officer tried to stop Bills and Sykes. He said he hit the officer and "he rolled across the hood."

"Was the police officer injured?" Bills' interrogator asked.

"I imagine it hurts to be hit by a car," Bills replied.

Sykes' statement says that they decided to quit drugs while in the stolen Camden cruiser and Bills said, "OK, lets go out with a bang."

"He is a great driver," Sykes told detectives.

Bills and Sykes, who have an infant daughter, allegedly began their odyssey several days earlier when they stole Sykes' grandmother's car and left their hometown of Macungie, near Allentown.


The grandmother's car was found in South Philadelphia, where the couple allegedly stole another car that then broke down in Camden, leaving them several nights living on the streets.

Then, on the morning of March 5, Bills said, the Camden police car showed up in front of them, ready for the taking.
