"The Black Knight Always Triumphs!"

I'll go out on a limb and say that this guy is in serious trouble:
Armless, One-Legged Driver Leads Chase

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - Authorities were led on a high speed vehicle chase by an armless, one-legged man, and they said this wasn't the first time the 40-year-old eluded police.

Michael Francis Wiley taught himself to driver after losing both arms and a leg in an electrical accident when he was 13. He spent time in prison for kicking a Florida Highway Patrol trooper after an accident in 1996. He led police on a 120 mph chase in 1998.
A one-legged guy kicking an FHP trooper? Sounds like a punchline to a bad joke. I wonder if he fell down after doing it? It kind of reminds me of the bit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where Arthur chops off the Black Knight's arms and legs and the Black Knight yells at him as he leaves, "Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!"
