Fast Trooper

One Fast Trooper!!



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 , Oklahoma . 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.



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.
