IN MOST OF THE NORTHERN STATES, THERE IS A
POLICY OF CHECKING ON ANY STALLED VEHICLE
ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURES DROP
DOWN TO THE SINGLE DIGITS OR BELOW.
ABOUT 3 A.M. ONE VERY COLD MORNING IN MARCH,
2004,A STATE POLICE OFFICER RESPONDED TO A CALL.
THERE WAS A CAR OFF THE SHOULDER OF
THE ROAD ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF CASPER.
HE LOCATED THE CAR, STUCK IN DEEP SNOW AND
WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING.
PULLING IN BEHIND THE CAR WITH HIS EMERGENCY LIGHTS
ON, THE OFFICER WALKED TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO FIND
AN OLDER MAN PASSED OUT BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH
A NEARLY EMPTY VODKA BOTTLE ON THE SEAT BESIDE HIM.
THE DRIVER CAME AWAKE
WHEN THE OFFICER TAPPED ON THE WINDOW.
SEEING THE ROTATING LIGHTS IN HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR
AND THE STATE POLICEMAN STANDING NEXT TO HIS CAR,
THE MAN PANICKED, JERKED THE GEARSHIFT INTO "DRIVE"
AND HIT THE GAS.
THE CAR'S SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING 20-30-40
AND THEN 50 MPH, BUT IT WAS STILL
STUCK IN THE SNOW,WHEELS SPINNING.
THE POLICEMAN, HAVING A SENSE OF HUMOR,
BEGAN RUNNING IN PLACE NEXT TO THE SPEEDING,
BUT STILL STATIONARY, CAR.
THE DRIVER WAS TOTALLY FREAKED OUT THINKING THE
OFFICER WAS ACTUALLY KEEPING UP WITH HIM.
THIS GOES ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS WHEN THE
PATROLMAN YELLED AT THE MAN
ORDERING HIM TO "PULL OVER!"
THE MAN OBEYED,
TURNED HIS WHEEL AND STOPPED THE ENGINE.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE MAN FROM CASPER WAS ARRESTED
AND IS PROBABLY STILL SHAKING HIS HEAD OVER THE
STATE PATROLMAN WHO COULD RUN 50 MILES PER HOUR.
WHO SAYS POLICEMAN DON'T HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR?
