According to a Hartford Courant story, Auriemma walked to the front of the bus and talked to the officer, who said the driver had committed a lane violation. Auriemma explained what happened in this video below and what he said the officer.

The road show began on on Monday at the Glastonbury Boat House and on Tuesday went to to the Stony Creek Brewery in Branford.
