No, That Car With The Flashing Lights And The Cop Inside Will Not Be Driving You Home

A Georgia man opened the rear door of a police car, climbed in, and told the cop at the wheel that he wanted a ride home, according to an arrest affidavit.

Around 10 PM Friday night, Andrew Davison, 31, allegedly entered the vehicle and shut the door while “there was a human being, to wit: Officer K. Thomas, in the conveyance.”

The conveyance in question was stationed on a St. Petersburg, Florida street and “the cruiser’s emergency lights were flashing,” cops say.

“The defendant stated that he wanted a ride home,” according to a complaint charging Davison with trespassing in an occupied structure.

Davison lives in Statesboro, a city about 55 miles from Savannah. Court records do not indicate what Davison was doing in St. Petersburg (or where he was staying), but Officer Kristen Thomas noted that the accused man showed an “indication of alcohol influence.”

Seen above, Davison bonded out of jail Saturday night after posting $500 on the misdemeanor charge. He has pleaded not guilty.
