Driver with booze eludes police - Moultrie Observer
A Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office investigator encountered the man as he was stopped at a red light waiting to turn right onto First Avenue Southeast off Veterans Parkway. The officer got the man’s attention and said: “You’ve got to be kidding me,” at which time the driver of the 1995 Dodge Caravan lifted up a bottle of Bud Ice beer, sheriff’s reports said. Jerome Burgess held up his badge so that it was visible to the driver and had him roll down his window, repeating: “You’ve got to be kidding me. ”The driver said that he was about to pour the beverage out. Burgess instructed the driver to pull into a nearby convenience store when the light changed to green. Instead, reports said, the driver accelerated after turning onto First Avenue Southeast, made a right turn onto Kingwood Garden, and stopped in the 40 block of that street. Burgess noticed a firearm in the car and stopped chasing the driver and stayed with the van to secure the weapon, instead calling for other officers for assistance in locating the driver.
