DRIVER TO COPS: CAR CHASE WAS ON MY BUCKET LIST

The Iowa State Patrol says a man pulled over in Des Moines after a car pursuit told state troopers that he wanted to be chased – because it was on his bucket list. The man refused to halt around 7:30 a.m. Thursday when a trooper tried to stop him over a violation on Interstate 80. The 10- to 15-minute chase ended soon after he left the interstate. He was taken into custody. That’s when the 46-year-old man shared his bucket list story with troopers. State Patrol Sgt. Scott Bright said that he’d never heard such an excuse in his 28 years of policing.
* But hearing such an excuse was on his bucket list, so everybody wins.
* The Sergeant was Bright. The driver, not so much.
* So – the driver’s bucket list: Did it include wanting to see the inside of a real, honest-to-goodness jail cell?
* They might want to check the rest of his list to see how many felonies it has on it.
