Loud sirens quickly crept up behind David Robison’s speeding car, and bright lights consumed his rear-view. When Robison came to a halt, an officer stepped out of his vehicle and casually walked up to his suspect.

“Sir, do you know why you are being pulled over?” the officer recited.

The senior said the first excuse to come to his mind, hoping it wouldn’t sound too bizarre.

“I am going to the hospital because I just found out my sister is in the hospital because she got into a car wreck,” Robison said. “She is unconscious, and I want to be there when she wakes up.”

To Robison’s surprise, the officer believes his story. The cop feels sorry for David and offers all that he can-a police escort.

“He left me in the hospital parking lot and told me ‘next time slow it down’,” Robison said.

In reality, Robison sped because he was running late to a concert at The Door in Ft. Worth.

On her way home from a late night at work, junior Kayla Viers was pulled over for speeding.

“I passed him, and I knew I was speeding. I was mentally preparing myself,” Viers said. “I knew I would have to pay [the fine] myself.”

The officer walked to her car and asked for a license and proof of insurance. When she handed it to him he studied the license and asked her why she was speeding. Viers lied and said she sped because she was tired and focused on making her way home.

“Did you know this was expired?” the officer asked as he gave Viers her license.

Veirs told the officer the reason she had not renewed her license was because she had work everyday that week and had planned on renewing it the next day while she was off of work. Appreciating her honesty, the police man let her off with two warnings: one for speeding and one for the outdated license.

Driving past the Mansfield Court house, going 52 mph in a 40 mph zone, had freshman Tristan Rodriguez pulled over. When the cop asked him his reason for speeding, he told him he was in a hurry because he needed to use the bathroom.

“That’s not a very good excuse young man,” the cop said.

Rodriguez asked the officer if he would give him a warning.

“No, I am an officer of the law. I don’t give warnings,” he said.

Rodriguez took the ticket home to his parents, who didn’t get mad, but clearly stated they had no plans of paying for his ticket.

“It was my fault,” Rodriguez said. “They just thought I was stupid.”
