Had a similar story. Was being dumb and 18 on Maple Ave in Zanesville back before they made cruising a crime. I was driving at night, no light, and went out the driver window to pass a sprite to a cutie in a mustang, while moving. Did not know the Sheriff was behind me When I did finally see him (about a mile later) behind me, I pulled over. he had me out the car and giving me all kinds of shit. Half way through all that some folks down on Maple decided to drag race just then. He looked at them taking off and told me to go home and I was not allowed back on maple for the rest of the weekend. The second time I later that year I was coming home from cat fishing about 2 in the AM with a friend and was racing him down 93. I get to the first exit to Roseville and hauling all kinds of ass, just about then my radar detector lights up like a x-mas tree. I see his gumballs come on and he is looking them up to swing around. I thought he was going to go after the guy because he was behind me but going almost as fast. No he passes the guy, comes after me. I pull over and the first thing he said was "How in the hell did you get a ford escort up to 93 mph?" I was all like "Ummmm played with the timing". He looked at the fish in the cooler, and made sure I had not been drinking and let me go, as he was hunting drunks that night.
