TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Thursday early morning, a Tulsa Police Department traffic officer stopped several automobiles for taking a trip at 91, 94, and 95 miles per hour on the Broken Arrow Expressway, a 60 miles per hour zone.
TPD says among the supposed speeders declared he was taking a trip quickly due to the fact that his friend’s cat had actually simply passed away.
“Now, you might believe we just prefer dogs due to the fact that of our faithful K-9 Officers, however you’d be incorrect,” Tulsa authorities said in a social networks post. “We likewise hold an unique location in our hearts for all of our four-legged pals.”
Police state that although they were saddened and sorry to find out about the death of the feline, it is still not an appropriate reason for intensified speeding.
All 3 drivers got tickets, according to TPD.
When taking a trip over 25 miles per hour over the speed limitation, it is thought about intensified speeding, which needs a court look in the state of Oklahoma.
“We hope everybody has a safe vacation weekend, and please regard other drivers and comply with all traffic laws,” authorities advised Tulsans on Facebook.
