Feeling The Need For Speed

David Carpenter, an applicant for the Florida Highway Patrol, blew his chances after he lead the FHP on a high-speed chase on his motorcycle, blazing it in the wrong direction through rush-hour traffic on the freeway, forcing them to track him via helicopter, and generally acting like a fool.

They followed him to his apartment complex, but didn't know if the man they now saw washing his car was the right guy. His dog gave him up- when the dog moved aside the verticals to bark at them, the troopers saw the motorcycle inside the room.

They told the now-arrested man not to bother showing up for his physical.
