By impersonating a police officer.......



from HFL:

"Supercross racer James “Bubba” Stewart was released on bail this morning after being arrested for pulling over two off-duty state troopers on a rural road near his home in Florida. The officers say Stewart used red and blue flashing lights in his pickup truck to pull them over, then fled the scene when they identified themselves as LEOs. Stewart and his passenger, Thames Jehrrod Quinault, were later arrested at Orlando International Airport.

It looks unlikely that he’ll have to serve prison time. Florida state law classifies impersonating a police officer as either a level 2 or 3 felony. Of 161 people convicted of a level 2 impersonation charge in Florida between 2001 and 2005, 18 were imprisoned with a mean sentence of 42.7 months. 30 people were sentenced for level 3 impersonation during the same time period, with a mean sentence length of 50.5 months.

Additionally, it’s a first degree misdemeanor to use or even posses flashing blue lights in a personal vehicle. There are also non-criminal traffic violations related to the offense.

Regardless, impersonating a police officer and fleeing to an international airport? This is going to be a big scandal. "

 

I never understood it when id see stuff like this in the news. What do you do once you pull them over? Take their license and go sit in your car for 5 minutes while you pretend to run it and do whatever then let them go? I can think of a lot more fun things to do that would get me 4-5 years in prison.

 

Haha man my supervisor grew up with him and always gets tickets to his events. I cant wait to tell him this.

 

What if there were a young woman in that car? What if the person in the following vehicle had ill intentions?

 

That's a shame. Certainly not a game or something to be taken lightly. Wonder what his sponsors will think/do about this.

 

Its happened before and people have been murdered. Its sad cause the person will never see it coming.

 

damn
