Suspect thought car was arrested


A Panama City man was pulled over after police clocked him driving at a high rate of speed. When the man finally pulled over in a bank parking lot, cops smelled a strong odor of alcohol. The man had a 12 ounce can of Bud Light in his car.

The man admitted that he had "maybe six beers" and instead of handing over his driver's license, he gave the cop his credit card. So, the cop decided to do some field sobriety tests, and no big surprise, the guy failed them. He blew a .228 on the Breathalyzer (which in most states the legal limit is .08).

Police were going to have the man's car towed, but the man objected. The policeman wrote "(The suspect) advised me that the vehicle did not know what it was doing and he did not understand why it was being arrested."
