Krispy Kremes and a high speed chase...

Feb 05, 2005 10:26 PM

Peabody (Tara) and I went to the outlets today for a little tax-free shopping...Got some good buys at Coach and 2 dozen Krispy Kremes because who can resist Krispy Kremes...Leaving the Krispy Kreme lot a huge white truck comes into our lane and sidewipes Tara's Jetta! Everyone in the lot is waving at him to stop but he speeds up...Tara drives through the lot in reverse, nearly running over a few innocent donut (or as Krispy Kreme spells it doughnut) eaters in an attempt to get a license number...I call 911 and report the crime and the license...Now the truck is within sight, but heading towards the LIE...The 911 dispatcher says follow but keep a safe distance...I am reporting to her exactly where we are...The truck is driving 90-100 on the LIE, swerving among the lanes...Finally gets off at the William Floyd Exit...We get off, follow for 2 miles, reporting to the police where we are...All of a sudden 5 cop cars pull out of the side streets and surround the truck! Anyway, we were there with the cops for over an hour, who first thought the driver was drunk or stoned, but then decided he was very, very slow...And just concerned with getting to his security job on time or being fired...Good news is no one was hurt...
