What's the biggest "snowball effect" you've seen someone get themselves into?

Not a cop, but going to relate the story of how an officer friend of mine ended up medically retired.

Late at night, small town. Bars are closed, streets are slient. Dude on a meth bender decides it would be a good night for a walk. Ends up knocking over a motorcycle, and some how removing the kickstand, which he carries with him. Noise awakens the owner, who calls 911. My officer friend is first on scene, goes to contact the guy, who hits my friend in the knee with the kickstand, shattering his kneecap. Suspect then takes off on foot. Breaks into a home, threatening the homeowner, before smashing a window and taking off again into the night. Which prompts another 911 call, just as other officers are responding to my friend's call for assistance. They fan out looking for the guy. He then decides to break into the fire station, steal an ax off the firetruck, and used it to smash through a back door of the station. Another 911 call. As responding officers from multiple agencies show up, he's spotted in someone's car. As they appraoch, he manages to get the car turned on, nearly runs over an officer, and starts a pursuit. Very shortly after that he crashes into someone's house, climbs out of the car, gets in a hard fight with the officers trying to arrest him, and gets tased before being taken into custody. At the jail, he fought with the booking deputies and ended up hobbled, in the restraint chair, and wearing a spit mask after biting one deputy.

Grand total he damaged one motorcycle, stole a car which he totaled, damaged two homes and a fire station, and put three officers in the ER. I'm pretty sure he was hell-bent on setting a record for "most charges leveled at a single person for a single on-going incident."

Also, my friend's knee was permanently damaged, he can walk okay but running is out of the question.
