Who says that dumb criminals are only drunks who try to rob a convenience store with a fish or robbers who try to knock off a bank through the drive-thru window. Speeding is technically a crime.
The Kitsap Sun talked to some local cops and got their weirdest excuses for speeding during traffic stops.
One cop told the paper a driver told him they were speeding because “I’m trying to catch that UFO. Can you try to catch it for me?” This is just a hunch, but I’ll guess the driver was in a pick-up truck, he had Toby Keith blaring on the stereo and his morbidly overweight wife in the back seat.
Another one said a driver told him, “I have been drinking and want to get off the road quickly.” That should save the officer some paperwork.
My favorite of the bunch is this little gem: “I’m going to a divorce proceeding and if you met her, sir, you would understand why I am hurrying.” All the officer had to do was look in the back of the pick-up.
