MONTANA STATE TROOPER

[bohunt]

TweetIn most of the United States there is a policy of
> checking on any stalled vehicle on the highway when
> temperatures drop to single digits or below. About 3
> AM on very cold morning, Montana State Trooper
> Allan Nixon #658 responded to a call there was a car
> off the shoulder of the road outside Great Falls, Montana.
> 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 trooper 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 trooper
> tapped on the window. Seeing the rotating lights in
> his rear view mirror, and the state trooper standing
> next to his car, the man panicked. He jerked the gear
> shift 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. Trooper Nixon, having a sense of
> humor, began running in place next to the speeding
> (but stationary) car. The driver was totally freaked,
> thinking the trooper was actually keeping up with
> him. This goes on for about 30 seconds, then the
> trooper yelled. "PULL OVER!"
>
> The man nodded, turned his wheel and stopped the
> engine. Needless to say, the man from North Dakota
> was arrested and is probably still shaking his head
> over the state trooper in Montana who could run 50
> miles per hour.
>
> Who says state troopers don't have a sense of humor?
