Cops hear all kinds of excuses when pulling motorists over for speeding, but this one…is Oscar worthy! A Deputy in Flagler County, Florida spotted a vehicle rolling through a stop sign and then hit the gas. The man was supposedly going 50 mph in a 30. At first he said it was a new car, then he changes his story, or as he says, “the truth is I just found out that Putin just said he’s gonna launch nuclear thermal war against the world, and I was trying to get back to my house to find out what’s going on…I’m freaking out..” You can see the Deputy’s surprise in the reflection of the car window! He wasn’t expecting that whopper! I’ve been pulled over a few times and usually just play it dumb or go for honesty. Next time, I gotta try and weave in world events as my excuse! Here’s WPLG with the officer’s bodycam footage…
