She was about to walk away with a couple of traffic tickets.
Then she turned the stop into a trip to jail.
A 73-year-old woman in Dawson County, Georgia, admitted she saw the deputy’s emergency lights behind her - but kept driving because she was late for a doctor’s appointment.
The deputy initially planned to write the citations and let her go.
Instead, she repeatedly got out of her vehicle despite being told to stay inside, cursed at the deputy, and eventually started walking toward the medical building like the traffic stop was over.
She was ordered to stop.
She kept walking.
That’s when the handcuffs came out.
The cited offenses were improper backing and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
Prosecutors later declined to pursue the more serious fleeing charge.
