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, Trooper Allan Nixon #658 responded
to a Call. There was a car off the shoulder of the road outside
Shattuck.
He located the car,stuck in deep snow, 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.
Trooper Nixon, 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 from Dumas, Texas was arrested, and is probably still
shaking his head over the State Trooper in Oklahoma who could run 50
miles per hour.
Sometimes law enforcement can be fun!
