An Auburn man was less than appreciative when a deputy advised he was cutting him a break on a speeding ticket.

Michael Peery, 44, of 365 Browns Bridge Road in Auburn, was stopped on Hwy. 316 after a deputy clocked him traveling 85 mph in a 65 mph zone.

The deputy decided to lower the speed to 79 mph “as a courtesy.”

When the deputy advised Peery that he had lowered the speed on the citation to 79 mph, Peery began to argue and denied that he had been speeding.

The deputy wrote, “I advised Michael that since he wanted to argue, I would not extend the courtesy of lowering his speed.”

When the deputy said he no longer intended to give Peery a break, Peery asked what would happen if he refused to sign the citation. The deputy explained that if Peery did not sign the citation, he would be taken to jail.

According to the deputy’s report, Peery became angry and “snatched” the ticket book out of the deputy’s hand. The deputy said the book scratched his hand and slammed into Peery’s car window.

The deputy removed Peery from his vehicle and placed him under arrest for disorderly conduct and speeding.

Peery was transported to the Barrow County Detention Center without further incident.

Drunk man: ‘It is what it is’

A philosophical drunk man earned a trip to jail after crashing his vehicle on Tom Miller Road.

A deputy was dispatched to the accident after a caller advised that a silver car had hit a power pole and crashed through a fence.

When the deputy arrived, he found Toua Benjamin Xiong, 23, of 1442 Mill Stone Court in Bethlehem, sitting inside the vehicle.

The deputy noticed a strong odor of alcoholic beverage and asked Xiong to step out of the car, but Xiong was unable to do so.

When asked how much alcohol he had consumed, Xiong replied, “Way too much. It is what it is.”

The deputy noted that Xiong’s eyes were watery and bloodshot and his speech was slurred. Xiong was placed under arrest for DUI.

“No field sobriety exercises were conducted due to Mr. Xiong being unable to stand up,” the deputy wrote.

Xiong was transported to the detention center where the state administered test of his breath showed a blood alcohol concentration of .227 and .226.

the officer is wrong!!!! who is he to deferr away from the facts in this case....if he(speeding driver) was doing 85 and then the officer wrote in a citation that the man was only driving 79 then who is a liar? where is truth in justice...if this copper really wanted to show leniency then he should write no ticket...lying and saying it was "courtsy" is bullshirt!!! this cop is a deciever of the truth he should be fired!!

Mr. Keels,

By reducing the speed, he would have saved Mr. Perry the added $200 "Super Speeder" fine that would automaticaly be placed on top of the county's fine. The deputy appearantly was trying to enforce the law and at the same time, save Mr. Perry money. I commend this deputy for offering to write Perry only 14 over, that would save points on his license and a reduced fine.
Mr. Keels, before you go and make a public statement, I would suggest you first do some research and soul searching. If you were Perry, would you not be gracious for a reduced fine and points on your license ? I know I would.

guess what fortitude person.....i have declined a seatbelt ticket from an officer who claimed i was speeding.....when i declined he wrote it for speeding....which i was not speeding nor was i NOT wearing a seatbelt...well guess what....i tore that cop a new butthole in court...it proved he was a liar and was not stating FACTS...i won that case....research and soul searching???? your a foolish person....the cop admitted to his desire to file a false citation....bottomline ps dummy.....if mr copper was really interested in giving a man a break...write a warning and dont cross the line of falsifying citations!! common sense goes a long way but honesty has no wheels for the powerful and corrupt justice system

and another thing or two...the "super speeder" law is just another revenue catcher for the system. ...this cop admitted to attempted fraud. yet nobody sees that...only his big ole hearted desire to help this speeder save money...but his desire is bogus and he(the cop) is the autor of a lie which would have went to court and another American citizan would have to pay fines based upon a made up lie by the ever loving police. and where is the assult charges???? the cop did state he was injured as a result of this speeder "snatching" the ticket book....i bet thats another lie and thats why the cop didnt file charges.....or did he? i'd love to have this case......this cop should be fired, he lies and admits to it!!

Mr. Keels,
Sounds like you have had a rough expierence with law enforcement, however, how do you know THIS Deputy was lying ? No one can help that the officer you had an encounter with acted unprofessionaly and I hope he did recieve the proper punishment for such acusations, but, unless your Mr. Perry in disquise, how can you jusity your claim that he was lying unless you were there ?

Sounds like he was used to getting his way with mommy and threw a tantrum...unfortunately, notes from mommmy are not admissible in court.

the cop admitted that he was going to write a ticket for driving 79mph.....when indeed he was driving 85mph. now, what part of this dont you get?....the police officer ADMITTED that he was falsifying the citation. false= a not true statment, or claim....well what part of the dude was NOT driving 79? and which part was driving 85mph? its an unture charge and the cop knowingly desired to make FALSE claims!!wake up and see it for what is FACTS

Mr. Keels,

NO where in there do I see the officer lie. He offered to help the gentleman. He admitted all and just tried to help him out. Something sounds as if you are against. To think if you could only chanel some of your anger to helping others perhaps you would be a happier person.

It was just a simple case of kindness, nothing more! Move on.
