awakened to respond to such a call of a car off the shoulder on the
Trans Canada Highway outside of Medicine Hat, Alberta.

alongside the highway. Pulling in behind it with his emergency lights
on, Constable Wisen walked to the driver's door to find an older man
passed out behind the wheel and a near empty bottle of vodka in the
seat.
> He tapped on the window and the driver woke up, seeing the rotating
lights in his rear view mirror and the RCMP Constable standing next
to his car. The man panicked, and he jerked the gearshift into drive
and hit the gas. The car's speedometer was showing 20-30-40 then 50
KPH, but its still stuck in the snow.
> Constable Wisen , having a sense of humor, began running in place
next to the speeding but still stationary car. The driver was totally
freaked thinking the officer is actually keeping up with him.
> This goes on for about 20 seconds when Constable Wisen yelled at
the man ordering him to "pull over". This man obeyed and turned his
wheel and stopped the engine.
> Once out of the car the drunken driver asked about the RCMPs'
special training and just how can the Constable run 50 KPH. The man,
Mr. Robert Duport of Medicine Hat was arrested still believing that
an RCMP Constable had outrun his car.
