Speeding driver tells cops he was trying to ‘reset the future’
Having God on your side is a defence that’s always going to raise eyebrows but telling traffic police that you were trying to alter the future while driving like a lunatic is a new one on us.
And it may well have been for the local cops on the idyllic Hawaiian island of Maui when they were confronted by a driver seemingly hell-bent on trouble along the roads of Kihei town.
Police were alerted to multiple calls of reckless driving one morning with witnesses reporting a car nearly running over pedestrians and damaging at least one car as it sped up to 50mph over the 30mph speed limit.
When police finally caught up with the 54-year-old man from Indianapolis, he made it clear he wasn’t going to come quietly. A sharp dose from a taser soon changed his mind.
“We were lucky that he didn’t kill anybody,” said Captain Tivoli Fauuma, who added that when asked why he was speeding back and forth along the roads, the driver explained he was “‘trying to reset the future, but he was not able to go fast enough to do that.’
“He said he does not respect authority and he only answers to God. He told officers he could destroy them in the blink of an eye.”
Not as fast as that taser though.
