I activated my emergency lights & put traffic cones out to direct the other drivers into the left lane to avoid my vehicle and the ford.. I found the driver walking up the street towards me carrying a small gas can. (Not to add to the whole blonde thing) she was.. she put gas into the ford and drove to the gas station where I wrote her 2 tickets.

I am amazed at how many people don't know what or where the hazard light switch is on thier own cars or to coast/pull off the side of the road even if it means hopping over the curb..
one ticket for blocking traffic and another for being stupid???

i infer it wasn't an Escape Hybrid, right? in that case, i'd ask something about why they can't motor off the highway on electric, as i did....

good job, Officer!
