This guy seems like an outlaw out of the 1970s.

A 32-year-old driver in Florida named Zachary Murray fled from a traffic stop last month . . . launching a police chase. He was eventually spotted after running a red light and nearly hitting another truck, head-on.

Deputies used a “PIT maneuver” to stop him, causing his truck to turn and flip onto its side. That’s when the cops circled in. They ordered him out of the truck, and the first thing Zachary said was, “Can I get a cigarette?”

The cops weren’t amused. And Zachary said, “Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I’m sorry. I’m not trying to fight . . . man, I’m going to jail.” Yup!

Zachary had cocaine and other drugs in his truck, and was charged with drug possession, trafficking in cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, fleeing and eluding, and reckless driving.
