Driver tells police chase was on bucket list

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa State Patrol says a man pulled over in Des Moines after a car pursuit told state troopers that he wanted to be chased because it was on his bucket list.


Des Moines television station KCCI reports that the man refused to halt early Thursday when a trooper tried to stop him over a violation on I-80. The 10- to 15-minute chase ended soon after he left the interstate. He was taken into custody.
 
That's when the 46-year-old Des Moines resident shared his bucket list story with troopers. 

State Patrol Sgt. Scott Bright told The Associated Press that he'd never heard such an excuse in his 28 years of policing.
