Woman 'Flips Off' Cops While Texting and Driving: Police
The woman, who was swerving on Highway 100, said she didn't know the men were police officers.
A woman cited for texting and driving "flipped off" the cops who were trying to flag her down, police said.
Greenfield Police got the one-finger salute when they were called to assist on a traffic stop Monday afternoon, as the woman was swerving on Highway 100 near Coldspring Road.
She gave the officers the hand gesture when they pulled up beside her in an unmarked car and told her to stop texting.
The woman claimed that she got a text from her daughter and "had no idea who the men were or why they were yelling at her."
