Man hands ID to checkpoint police, speeds away, tracked down easily

An American man made a foolhardy attempted escape by speeding away after he handed over his ID to police at a checkpoint.

They say a man handed over his license and registration at a sobriety checkpoint during the weekend, then peeled out and sped away, almost hitting an officer.

Police eventually pulled over the 32-year-old man and reported finding marijuana in his vehicle.

He was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, possession of drugs, disobeying a police officer and reckless conduct.
