OMG PD

The OMG PD column at South Kingston Patch.com is chock full of stories that will make you chuckle this week. Here is an example.

Let’s hope the insurance company doesn’t read this

A 19-year-old Wakefield man went for a joy ride – with officer in pursuit – after he passed a patrolman doing 29 miles per hour above the speed limit.

When the officer turned on his lights to pursue the speeder, the man accelerated, took a sharp turn and momentarily got away. The officer caught up to him pretty quickly though, resting comfortably against a tree and fence he had just crashed into. He told the officer he fled because the car was not registered. Then he asked:  “Do you think my insurance company will cover the cost of the car?”

The original article here contains more reports that made me smile, such as the man who showed the police the magic mushroom he bought at a garage sale.
