Nothing, 25mph from frost line to center line nearly in the ditch on both sides of the road. Oh goody a pursuit with a drunk, this is going to be fun. Well 10 miles later we're still going 25mph on the 70mph highway. Finally the driver kicks it down and near w60mph. Other deputy gets the spikes out and, God bless this man, get's 5 out of 6 tires! Driver finally stops, guns drawn you knwo the whole shebang... story goes from I didn't see you (or hear your siren) to I thought you wanted to pass me. No booze, no drugs, and he wanted me to apologize for asking him that because he was offended, just a COMPLETE MORON. Still charged him with fleeing.
5 out of 6 tires? Was it a large truck or dually? I thought for a sec that the deputy got all tires + one of yours..lol.
Oh, I love moron stories. It makes me feel better that we don't have a complete monopoly on them. They like to herd on the interstates here.
For me, before there was the Thin Blue Line, there was the Blood Stripe! Semper Fi!
Our fear reminds us that we are not God, our faith reminds us that He is!
