Sounds like that video was him playing a character he's dressed up as for Halloween.  I'm not familiar with the character though.

Based on him wearing the same clothes in the mugshot, wonder if he had too much fun at a Halloween party.

This seems plausible. Coupled with the heightened anxiety of getting pulled over these days, I'm guessing he panicked.

With all of the non-stop construction and the way Indiana drivers are, it's normal to "drive erratically" on I-65.

Seriously, I just hope it wasn't a drunk driving issue and just being a dumbass behind the wheel.

Any time I read about an NBA player getting stopped for driving erratically, I think back to former Blazers player Qyntell Woods, who didn't have a driver's license, so when he got pulled over he handed the cop one of his basketball cards. It didn't work.

And the 4 mile "chase" was probably due to the police having to catch up to him driving woke squad cars rather than squad cars with beefy engines like they should have.

I don't know Indianapolis highway exits, but I did see a comment saying that while police say they chased him for about 4 miles, where they say they radared him going 90 mph and where the exit he pulled over at is about 1 mile apart.  If that's true, then it sounds like he probably was just trying to get to a safer place to pull over and not actually leading some high speed police chase.

Well, who in this room hasn't done 90+ miles per hour on interstate highways?

Anyone who has driven the Tri-State in Chicago outside a construction zone drives that fast just to "keep up."

Interstate 95 between Jacksonville and Palm Beach County is the damn Bubba 400. You aren't even considered a Superspeeder under Florida law until you cross three figures on an interstate.

Not necessarily. It is common for the cop who stops you to question you, and one question could have been about why you decided to speed.

Alright, let's turn this into a thread to commiserate with Kam and confess to our driving mistakes. Here's mine...

The summer after graduation in 1988, one of my roomies got married up in New Franken, outside of Green Bay. The wedding ceremony was something like 11am, so a crew of us heading up from MKE met at O'Ds on Wells St. around 7am to start the day. A couple of bloody mary's and a couple of beers later, our convoy of 4 or 5 cars headed north. I was with one buddy, driving my mom's relatively new Acura Legend. Somewhere between Port Washington and Sheboygan another car in our convoy passed us, with everyone proudly waving their beers at us. What?! How?! My buddy and I, with no beers in our car, thought "this is Wisconsin, there's gotta be a place to get beer just off the next exit." And so we exited. And, of course, there was a place to buy. We bought and got back on the highway, needing to catch the convoy since we didn't know where we were going. I still know that driving more than 100mph with an open beer was the dumbest driving thing I've ever done. We did catch up, though, and did arrive in time for the ceremony.

My senior year, I flew home for spring break because my parents bought a new car and were giving me their '73 Plymouth Valiant for me to drive back to MU.

I knew I couldn't make that solo drive without tunes, so I had a cassette player installed.

I was driving through Indiana, belting out Love Her Madly with Morrison, when I saw the flashing lights behind me. I slowed down immediately and pulled directly behind a car in the right lane.

The cop asked, "Do you know how fast you were going?" I said I didn't, but I knew it was too fast. He said I was going 95 in an 55 zone, and that was a felony, and he could take me to jail. But he was gonna do be a favor and just give me a ticket for following too closely. And he warned me that he was sending out my information so I'd better not get caught speeding the rest of the trip.

I kept it under 55 the rest of my way through Indiana.

Mine has a basketball twist!

In 1982, I was driving between Terre Haute and Evansville on U.S. 41. I was on my way to Nashville, when an Indiana State Trooper pulled me over. At the time, the courtesy was to walk to the Trooper's patrol car (nobody in their right mind would do that today).

When I arrived, the trooper indicated I was going 80 miles per hour in a 50 mile per hour zone. It was late at night and I apologized to the trooper, who immediately said, "you're a big one -- did you ever play basketball?" I confessed I did not but immediately told him I admired and respected Bobby Knight.

Needless to say that after watching the drubbing we took in the 1973 and 1976 Mideast Regional, I thought Bobby Knight was an ass. When I made my admire and respect comment, the Trooper and I had a long discussion about Indiana's 1982 basketball team, for which Knight arguably had done an excellent coaching job.

The Trooper proceeded to write me a warning and tell me, "take it easy." I got back in the car and the lovely Ms. Dgies damn near threw up when she heard that story.

Another time, I was on MN 61 near Grand Marais. My Dad, who was in memory care in Duluth, went out for the day with me and we rode to Grand Marais. On the way back, a Crimson Cruiser of the Minnesota State Patrol hung a "u" and started after me. My Dad actually started laughing as the trooper approached the car.

The Minnesota Trooper was an incredibly nice gentleman. After exchanging pleasantries and asking if we had an emergency, he let me know it was "too nice a day to go that fast." I was going 65 in a 55. After he did a quick check on my license, the Trooper came back, looked at my Dad and said, "sir, you're in charge. Can you keep this guy in order?"

My Dad looked at the Trooper and said, "are you kidding me. That ship sailed a long time ago."

"In that case," the Trooper said, "you should know I have some friends down the road and they are not as nice as I am! Here's a warning and enjoy your time in Minnesota. Come back and see us!"

The tickets I have received have been nickel dime stuff.  67 in a 55 zone on 94 in Indiana near Valparaiso a mile after the speed limit dropped.  56 in a 45 zone, where I am convinced the deputy dragged out the process since I had my wife, MIL, and screaming 2 year old in the car with me.  Shorter yellow than anticipated in Chicago.

The last time I got pulled over, the Ohio deputy flat out lied to me about how fast I was going.  I am convinced I was pulled over due to the Michigan plates.  However, when I told him I was heading to a funeral still 90 minutes away, he let me go.

Last spring I'm driving a rural WI highway north from Lake County Ill back to Waukesha County.  I'm headed through a small town (Norway I think) and I'm on my Bluetooth.  I see the SUV facing me on the opposite side of the road, but too late.  I'm going 50+ in a 35.  Orange flags warning the speed limit ahead was 35 must've eluded me.

So I'm thinking I'll go to court and see if I can get it reduced.  Not the fine necessarily (I think it was $50 or so)but the 4 points it was going to hit me with and the insurance cost.

I show up in May in the "courthouse" which is a brand new community center with folding chairs facing the judge's bench.  I go to sign in and they ask if I'm here to pay the fine.  I said I wanted to see about getting it reduced.  They gave me a number and told me to have a seat. 

Eventually I get called up and am escorted into a room behind the bench by an attorney.  I explain my situation and and she says I can change it to disobeying a traffic light and reduce it to two points but it would cost $70 or something like that.  I said I was more interested in reducing the points.  She told me she could make it a parking violation but it would be $106.  I swear to god I looked around for a camera or waiting for somebody to pop out and say they were pranking me.

I joke about how I know how they fund their July 4th Parade in Norway every year.  $100 parking tickets.

Had the same thing happen on Interstate 94 in Racine County. I was stopped for basically driving in Wisconsin with a FIB drivers license and registration.

About a week later, I start getting letters from Wisconsin attorneys wanting to represent me. One promised to get me off, so I asked how and he said we can do an effective job of representing you.

My case went to court and I was convicted of illegal parking on Interstate 94. A $100 fine but no violation.

I was surprised myself. Speedometer went up to 120, but I never tested that!

Statement from Coach Carlisle. Kam will be fine:

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle backed Jones publicly, telling reporters that the rookie was insistent on making his apologies and vouching for his character, which Carlisle described as "exemplary."

"My feeling is that this is going to turn out to be a speeding ticket and probably not much more," Carlisle said. "The kid thought he was going to be late to practice so he was going too fast. I'm not going to get into much more about it than that."

It was 3 o'clock in the morning and a buddy next door called and asked me to drive his girlfriend home. I got stopped in Shorewood doing 30 in a 25 mph zone and the SOB took me in to the station for a bond. She had to go home and get $25 to bail me out. While we waited the cop wanted to talk about fishing. I told him to F off.

Being able to tell a cop to F off is white privilege
