Deputy 'interferes' with driver's morning routine

By Howard B. Owens

A deputy called into dispatch this morning saying he was behind an erratic driver and was attempting to pull her over (I missed the location).

She wasn't stopping, so he flipped on his siren.

"She's continuing at a low rate of speed, but not stopping," he told dispatch.

Another unit started toward the area.

She finally pulled over.

After the traffic stop, one deputy told the other: "Apparently, you interfered with her routine. She was getting dressed and putting her make up on."

No word on what citation(s) might have been issued.

UPDATE 9:26 a.m.: At least one citation is being issued for an alleged violation of vehicle and traffic law section 1226: "No person shall operate a motor vehicle without having at least one hand or, in the case of a physically handicapped  person, at least one prosthetic device or aid, on the steering mechanism at all times when the motor vehicle is in motion."
