Blake Wilkey, 27, teamed up with some friends to film him in his modified VW Beetle buggy as he tore up the streets of San Diego. You might remember this video called "Urban Assault." While it was a hell of a lot of fun to watch him rip up the city, such fun comes with consequences. The San Diego police department tracked him and his friends down and he's now facing some lawful charges. It turns out this stunt, while already illegal on its own, was a probation violation for previous reckless driving offenses. Now Blake has been sentenced to 49 days of jail then house arrest. However, he'll only serve two actual weekends in jail then move on the to ankle bracelet.
