SALISBURY, Conn. (AP) — Police say a man’s excuse for speeding through a small Connecticut town takes the cake — or, at least, the cookie.
A state trooper who stopped the 1993 BMW says its driver, 28-year-old Justin Vonkummer of Millerton, N.Y., blamed the driving problems on an errant Oreo.
Police say Vonkummer told the trooper that an Oreo had just slipped from his fingers as he dunked it in a cup of milk, and that he was trying to fish it out when he lost control of his car.
The alleged incident occurred last fall in Salisbury, but came to light in Bantam Superior Court this week.
That’s when prosecutors learned Vonkummer had been charged with speeding and driving under a suspended license — not driving under the influence, as a clerk had mistakenly noted in the court records.
Vonkummer’s attorney would not comment. The case is pending.
