MAN DRIVES SIX MILES WITH WIFE ON THE ROOF

A Florida man allegedly drove for six miles with his wife clinging to the roof of his car early on Tuesday morning. Richard Addy, 69, told police that he had no idea that his wife Elizabeth, 50, was on the top of his Toyota Sport Utility Vehicle, at least not at first. He told police that he eventually “heard her banging on the roof and realized that she was there,” but that he did not stop because he didn’t have a cell phone to call for help. Addy claims that the couple had “several drinks over the course of the night,” at a couple of different establishments before getting into an argument. Addy decided to leave without his wife because of their fight and she somehow ended up on the top of his car. He said that he drove past the county courthouse to look for police but that when he saw no officers, he kept on driving. Finally an officer of the Stuart, Florida, Police Department saw the distressed woman screaming on the roof of the car and pulled Addy over six miles from the start of the trip. Police did not say why Elizabeth climbed on top of the car. Addy was charged with reckless driving, even though police also noted Addy’s breath had a “strong odor of alcoholic beverage.”
* She should at least have been charged with reckless riding.
* “He realized she was there but did not stop because he didn’t have a cell phone to call for help.” ‘Cause he knew as soon as he stopped she beat the crap out of him.
* She stayed on thanks to those sucker tentacles and talons, I bet.
* I’ve heard of airing out your differences, but this is nuts.
* Did he think it was T.J. Hooker? Did he think it was the Flubbermobile? Did he think it was the aliens from Close Encounters of the Third Kind?
* He probably thought, “Since when does this car have a siren?”
