Running Into the police Can Be a Scary Thing

No one wants to run into a law enforcement officer here in Houston but this has to be one of the weirdest encounters yet:


A motorist claims a motorcycle officer took her car keys after pulling her over and left her stranded on the side of the freeway.

Valencia Lee and Latesta Onyenike were Northbound at Crosstimbers on Highway 59 when a motorcycle officer, who was supposedly escorting a funeral procession, waved them over.

Lee says he told her, “‘You on the cell phone and I'm directing traffic,’ that's all he said,” Lee, added the officer ordered her to keep her car where it was. The women said the man, who was wearing a black jacket with the word “Sheriff” on the back, then asked for the car keys.

I expect anything from these officials. They have a proven track record for the bizarre.
