‘I have to poop so badly’: a woman’s unusual excuse to avoid a speeding ticket

A woman in Oklahoma, USA, refused to cooperate with authorities during a traffic stop and led them to a high-speed chase through the neighborhood.

Emily Owings, 28, was arrested for not wearing a seat belt. Police also discovered that she did not have her license or insurance and her only form of identification was her medical marijuana card.

Bodycam footage shows the woman responding to officers as they questioned her about having her license suspended.

She says she didn’t know it was.

“Now, I’m waiting to see if he has warrants in Woods County,” the officer told the woman.

“But I have to poop so bad,” he replied.

“Where do you think he was going?” asked the officer.

“It’s my birthday,” she replied.

The officer eventually discovered there was a warrant for his arrest, after Owings allegedly fought another officer.

“Why don’t you let me go?” She asked him.

“Because your license is suspended!” the officer said.

“I’m sorry I didn’t know,” Owings said. “Otherwise, I won’t drive anymore, but can I go home and poop?”

The officer had to call for reinforcements. Owings finally put the key in the ignition and left.

A police chase ensued that lasted for several blocks, and Owings flew through stop signs and a school zone.

Agents pointing guns at her were necessary to stop her.

Even as he got into the police car, he kept asking if he could “poop.”

“Can I poop in your car, man?” he asked again.

“You could have already been on your way to jail!” the officer replied.

Police said they found a methamphetamine pipe inside his car.
