Driving past a police officer with your headlights off at night is a bad idea.
Even worse? You guessed it: Trying to do a line of blow while he runs your license and registration.
According to the WWWN, a Seattle police officer was beyond shocked last week when his night quickly escalated from pulling over a 73-year-old man for driving with his headlights off to arresting that man for trying to snort cocaine during the traffic stop.
When Officer Nic Abts-Olsen approached the vehicle, he informed the man that the reason he had been pulled over was because he was driving without his headlights on. The man politely apologized and handed Abts-Olsen his license. Roughly 30 seconds later, Abts-Olsen returned to the vehicle and was about to let the man off with a warning because of his flawless driving record. But when he knocked on the window, Abts-Olsen startled the man, and by "startled" we mean he made the man spill the cocaine he was about to snort "all over his hands and the floor of his vehicle." The warning was rescinded, the man was arrested for drug possession, and now somebody's grandpa in the Seattle area has one hell of a story to tell the grandkids around the fire this Christmas.
