Oregon State Police Story

In most of the United States , there is a policy of checking on any
stalled vehicle on the highway when the temperatures drop down to single
digits or below.

About 3 AM, one very cold morning, Senior Trooper Gary Gleaves (Oregon
State Police) responded to a call there was a car off the shoulder of
Interstate 5 outside Canyonville , OR . 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 rearview mirror, and the State Trooper standing
next to his car, the man panicked. He 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.

Senior Trooper Gleaves, having a sense of humor, began running in place
next to the speeding, but still 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 at the man to
'Pull over!' The man obeyed, turned his wheel and stopped the engine.

Needless to say, the man was arrested, and is probably still shaking his
head over the State Trooper in Oregon who could run 50 miles per hour.

Who says Troopers don't have a sense of humor?

Too funny, I can see this happening. Love it.

Gotta love this one.

Hilarious!! I'm going to share that 1 with the gals at work tonight.
