Man Leads Slow Police Chase. This man, a 36-year-old Nepali student, is not named in the news report. Some time after midnight on September 23, he was spotted by Monroe County, Michigan, police urinating on a highway median. He said he had become lost trying to return from Detroit to Bowling Green University in Ohio. The police told him to wait in his car while they checked out his credentials. After a bit, the Nepali moved his car ahead about 20 feet. The police followed, warning him by loudspeaker not to leave. Yet shortly after, he drove off at a steady speed of 55 miles per hour on a highway whose speed limit was 70 miles per hour. The police followed, sirens blaring and lights flashing, and several times tried to get him to stop. He finally did. When asked why he did not stop earlier, he explained that he thought the police were escorting him home. He didn’t know what the siren and flashing lights meant because police cars in Nepal, he said, were not equipped with such devices. (monroenews.com, October 25 2006)
