Man claims that he needed to use the bathroom to explain 111 MPH police chase

[JonLP24]

LOGAN, Utah — A Utah man has been sentenced to seven days in jail after a high-speed chase that he blamed on a bathroom emergency.

Thirty-nine-year-old Jeffrey Laub told a judge Monday that he ate something that upset his stomach and was racing to get to a rest area in Logan Canyon.

The Herald Journal reports 1st District Judge Thomas Willmore called the explanation “one of the worst stories” he ever heard.

The judge pointed out that Laub passed several outhouses while he led a Utah Highway Patrol trooper on a chase last spring that reached 111 mph.

3. If I were judge, I'd let him walk.

Everyone prefers their own toilet.

5. Butt...or but

The story says he was racing to get to a rest stop, I agree about home base though. Was the rest stop the only crapper available? I think this would be a deciding factor if I was the judge.

Innocent by reason of incontinence.
