Colleen Frable became so angry her unemployed boyfriend was spending the day playing video games, she decided to break his habit by taking the PlayStation with her to work Friday, she told Lehigh Township police.

Police said her live-in boyfriend, Darren Suchon, 42, became so enraged that he followed Frable's vehicle from their home near Palmerton on Route 248 to Lehigh Township, where he forced her vehicle off the road and rear-ended it while driving her 1996 gold Porsche sports car, all in an effort to get the video game system back.

Suchon, of 88 Hahns Dairy Road, Lower Towamensing Township, now faces a host of charges, including simple assault, reckless endangerment, harassment, disorderly conduct, reckless driving and driving with a suspended or revoked license. He was sent to Northampton County Prison under $25,000 bail.

In an interview with police after the chase, Suchon told officers he was mad his girlfriend took the PlayStation and "didn't know what the big deal was."

Uh...what's the big deal, Darren? 

I know people flip out sometimes but this is too much.  Let’s see – playing hooky from responsibility so you can play video games all day, throwing a fit when you don’t get your way, driving without a license, vandalism and destruction of other people's property.  You're in a regressed state of psychological development.  You're a mental pre-teen.  What you need is a good spanking (that's for wrecking the Porsche, mister!), grounded from your PlayStation and a ride to the job center from your mommy.

Grow up!
