After running late to his night job, a Miami Police Officer found himself pulled over and arrested by a Florida state trooper.  

In their exchange below, it's hard to tell who's more shocked, the officer or the trooper.  He's arrested at gunpoint, then cuffed.  It takes him about 4 minutes to realize that she's chasing after him. She thinks he might have stolen the police car.

According to the Miami Herald, Officer Fausto Lopez's attorney says the allegations against his client are false. Lopez was charged with driving recklessly in his marked patrol car at speeds of more than 120 mph on Florida’s Turnpike in Broward County.
