Is something wrong, Officer? As the roadway was lighted by flashing lights, the woman asked coolly. The police answered, “Madam, you were speeding.” “I don’t have one—I lost it four times for drunk driving,” she remarked nonchalantly when he asked for her license. She smiled and added, “I stole this car,” to the officer’s disbelief.
When she said, “Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner,” the officer’s shock increased. Five police cars quickly surrounded the automobile as he pulled over to call for help. A senior officer came up and motioned for her to go. “Is there a problem, sir?” she asked, smiling calmly as she complied.
She tilted her head and asked, “Murdered the owner?” after opening the trunk and finding nothing. The officer was perplexed and remarked that one of his coworkers had said she didn’t have a license. She then pulled it out of her purse and laughed, saying, “Betcha that lying fecker told you I was speeding too.” This encounter left the officers stunned and the station buzzing with incredulity. What began as a routine traffic stop became one of the most bizarre nights in the department’s history, as the woman’s ludicrous claims felt like a writ.
