False Allusion

Virginia speeders are nothing if not literary. From today’s Charlottesville Daily Progress (quoted material, from p. A7, is not online):

High Speed Chase Ends With Crash

… According to police reports, Deputy Rick McKinley was headed north on U.S. 29 when he noticed Glen Thomson, 23, driving about 80 mph on U.S. 29 south near Alanthus Road at 10:50 a.m. on Thursday.

The pursuit ended when Thomson’s 1998 Ford Taurus SHO hit a tree on Auburn Road after the five mile chase. No injuries were reported.

Thomson faces a felony charge of alluding police.

Perhapss the speeding Mr. Thomson can file counter charges for false allusion.

Say What?
