Photo: Monkey-Masked Speeder Evades Cops
NEW YORK (CBS) A Phoenix, Ariz. man has gone bananas—and he wants cops to take notice.
Officers say Dave VonTesmar has been speeding on highways lined with cameras while wearing a monkey mask with the intention of having his photo taken, according to KNXV Phoenix.
DPS officials told reporters there are 37 speeding tickets totaling about $6,700 in fines which belong to the man.
It's been a mini-safari in VonTesmar's car. Authorities told the station that if VonTesmar is not wearing a monkey mask, he uses either a gazelle mask or giraffe mask to avoid having his picture taken.
DPS spokesman Bart Graves told KNXV that they have a number of people who speed past their cameras and think they can get away with. He calls them "frequent flyers." VonTesmar, he says, is the most flagrant.
