Usually when people are actively fleeing from police, they put down whatever alcoholic beverage they’re consuming and drive poorly. Some even go so far as to throw their liquid refreshment and poor decisions out the window at a pursuing police cruiser. But one man in Davenport, Iowa decided to just keep sipping his Twisted Tea, even after police pitted him multiple times.

The infamous Belltown Hellcat can’t be driven for some time.

The pursuit started when a police officer allegedly observed the suspect going 80 in a 45 mph zone. That officer gave chase and alleges he saw the driver tipping back a can of Twisted Tea as the Chevy Silverado swerved around and into the oncoming traffic lanes, reports WHBF.

During the chase, police claim the man drove his truck the wrong way onto an interstate exit ramp. That’s when an officer performed the first PIT maneuver during the chase. But the suspect flipped around in the opposite or correct direction, kept on driving.
