Cereal Eyed As Cause Of Man's Erratic Driving
NEEDHAM (WBZ) ―
Police in Needham pulled over a man who was allegedly driving while trying to eat a bowl of cereal with milk, according to
Wicked Local Needham.
The 48-year-old driver, who is from Needham, was apparently spotted driving erratically on Central Avenue, near Parish Road, by other drivers.
According to Wicked Local Needham, callers told police the driver was "all over the road." He was crossing over the double yellow line and tailgating other vehicles.
When police finally pulled the man over, they allegedly found a bowl of cereal with milk, which was still cold, inside the car, the site reports.
Once the cereal was discovered, the man told police he was eating the cereal because he was hungry.
The driver, who had an expired license, was cited for not staying in the yellow lines and operating to endanger.
Police are also looking to file an incompetent operator complaint against the driver because of his prior driving record, the site reports.
