Update: I added another MSP entry in post # 8

Posted today on Facebook by the Minnesota State Police:

MnDPS_MSP - Minnesota State Patrol Good morning MSP Fans! Fact or Fiction, this "Friday Funny" put my feet in a frenzy... I imagine this is how Fred and Barney felt every time they got in the car to cruise the mean streets of Bedrock. Enjoy!

In most of the United States there is a policy of checking on any stalled vehicle on the highway when temperatures... drop to single digits or below. About 3 a.m., one very cold morning, a Montana State Trooper responded to a call of a car off the road just outside of Great Falls.

The trooper located the car which was stuck in deep snow with the engine still running. Pulling up behind the car with his emergency lights flashing, the trooper walked up to the driver’s door and found an older man who appeared to be passed out behind the wheel, an empty vodka bottle on the seat beside him.

The man, seeing the flashing lights in his rearview mirror, and noticing the trooper standing next to his car, panicked. He jerked the car’s gearshift into drive and hit the gas.

The car’s speedometer was showing 20 m.p.h., 30 m.p.h., 40 m.p.h. and finally 50 m.p.h., but it was still stuck in the deep snow, tires spinning.

The trooper, having a sense of humor, started running in place next to the stationary car. The driver was completely freaked out thinking the trooper was keeping up with him. This went on for about 30 seconds before the trooper knocked on the window and shouted to the driver to “pull over.”

The driver acknowledged the troopers request, pulled his car over to the side of the road (or so he thought) and stopped the engine.

Needless to say, the driver was arrested --- and is probably still shaking his head over the Montana State Trooper that could run 50 m.p.h.

Now who says troopers don’t have a sense of humor!?! Happy Friday everyone!

another Minnesota State Patrol Cute story from facebook:

MnDPS_MSP - Minnesota State Patrol Good morning MSP Fans! A young family, out for a drive near the town of Hutchinson hit a patch of slick roadway and ended up rolling the family car into the ditch. When Trooper J. Nielsen arrived on the scene, he was greeted by some surprisingly cheerful banter from the little snow angels in the back seat. Here's what ...they had to say about their crash...

A quick survey of the situation showed that the driver had been rounding a curve on the snow packed highway when they lost control. The tracks in the snow showed that once the driver lost control the car began to slide sideways into the deep, snow-filled ditch. Making my way down the embankment toward the car, I found a young woman in the driver’s seat and two children in the back seat. From the top of the hill, I yelled to the woman who, through her tears, confirmed that she was alright.

As I trudged down the embankment I surveyed the car which boasted a crumpled roof and caved in windshield. Both outside mirrors were broken loose and hanging on by wires. Though the car was standing upright by this point, it was obvious that it had completely rolled over when it entered the ditch sideways. Through tears, the woman said, “I just bought this car three days ago”.

Leaning in the window, I found her four-year-old boy was now standing on the back seat pulling himself up so that he could see me over the front headrest. He said, “Hi cop. Nice gun.” I said, “Thanks kid”. He said proudly, “I wore my seat belt so I wouldn’t get dead!”

His little sister was giggling. She was still strapped into her child restraint in the seat behind Mom. The little girl pulled her eyelid down and asked if I could see her eyeball. I said yes and she giggled some more.

Seeing that all was well, I asked the woman to explain what happened. She began to tell how she was just driving carefully around the curve when suddenly she lost control.

Not wanting to be left out, her little girl stretched forward in her restraint seat as far as she could and yelled, excitedly, “We were going reeeeal fast!” Mom shrieked, “We were not!”

Though her new car was badly damaged, this woman had taken the extra time to properly buckle everyone up. This no doubt prevented a tragic ending to this story.
