A man dressed as a zombie was pulled over in Lee County for driving 48 mph in a 30 mph zone, according to CBS12, and instead of a ticket, he walked away with a warning and some holiday advice from the deputy who stopped him: slow down, and don't eat any brains tonight.
Bodycam Captures the Costume Traffic Stop
The encounter was caught on a deputy's body camera Friday night, according to cw34.com. The footage shows the Lee County Sheriff's Office deputy stopping the costumed driver for speeding, clocked at nearly 20 mph over the posted limit.
Rather than writing a citation, the deputy opted to issue only a warning, the outlet reports. Before sending the driver on his way, the deputy told him to slow down and, in the spirit of the holiday, not to eat any brains that night.
A Costume That Missed the Mark
The driver had his own confession to make during the stop, telling the deputy that his zombie costume had come out terrible. The deputy didn't let the moment pass without a quip of his own, joking that the driver was, at the very least, the fastest zombie on the roadway.
The lighthearted exchange, caught on camera, turned what could have been a costly ticket into a Halloween night story instead. No further details on the driver's identity or the exact location of the stop within Lee County, Florida, were provided.
