MN State Patrol Cites Scofflaw For Trying To Pass Skeleton As Passenger In MnPASS Lane
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Make no bones about it, the Minnesota State Patrol will stop you if you illegally use a MnPASS carpool lane – especially if you're trying to trick law enforcement with a skeleton disguised as a passenger.
According to the state patrol, a motorist was pulled over on March 25 in Maplewood on Interstate 35E. In the passenger seat: a skeleton wearing a hoodie.
"This motorist thought dressing up a skeleton would be a good way to illegally use the MnPASS carpool lane. Guess what? Only human passengers qualify," the state patrol said in a Facebook post.
The skeleton was even buckled up, albeit improperly.
The driver was cited.
