Police officer arrested after 120mph chase

A US police officer in a marked car was arrested for zigzagging through traffic at more than 120mph so he could get to his off duty job on time.

Officer Fausto Lopez, 35, of Miami was handcuffed at gunpoint and later charged with reckless driving on the Florida Turnpike.

In a video recorded on the pursuing trooper's in-car camera, Lopez led Florida highway patrol officer D.J. Watts on a 12-mile chase in pre-dawn darkness.

The highway patrol officer said she couldn't even overtake the Miami police car "due to the unit traveling extremely reckless, in and out of traffic at high rates of speed", according to a police report.

Officer Watts wrote in her report that Lopez "stated that he was en route to an off-duty work detail and that he had to be there by 7am".

Lopez's lawyer, William Matthewman, later said in a statement that his client was innocent.

He said: "Officer Fausto Lopez is a good police officer who has worked as a uniform patrol officer on the streets of Miami for nearly six years, protecting the citizens of Miami.

"The allegation that he was driving his police vehicle 120 mph is not accurate and is disputed... This is a simple misunderstanding that has been blown out of proportion."

this reminds me of a story that was told to me as fact. you be the judge of its veracity.

in one particular inner city pediatrician's office the children are called by their first name when it is his or her turn to see the doctor. the nurse collected the names from the charts that the receptionist had pulled and scanned the list. when she saw one of the names she thought for sure that the receptionist was either making a very bad joke or a very bad spelling mistake. she asked the receptionist and it was no mistake.

the schedule was running behind as usual so there was no time to worry about it. it was time to call the first patient. "anita, it is your turn to see the doctor." a little african american girl and her mother came forward. a few minutes later she called the next patient. "juan, it is your turn to see the doctor." a little puerto rican boy and his mother came forward. now it was the troublesome name. but this nurse isn't stupid so she decided to use the child's last name. "mr. jones, it is your turn to see the doctor." the boy's mother noticed the difference and corrected the nurse. "the name's 'shuh theed'. of course 'shuh theed' was spelled 'shi thead' (without the space).

as i said above this was told to me as fact.

Evidently, the woman in that video is named Shi thead without the space. The story you heard was wrong, it was a girl who was named that, and that is her.
