ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Speeding and aggressive drivers in Orange County needed more than the luck of the Irish to avoid a traffic citation on Thursday.

An Orange County sheriff's deputy dressed as a leprechaun and equipped with a laser speed-detection gun targeted speeding and reckless motorists in the area of University Boulevard and state Road 417.

The "leprechaun" also held a sign reading, "Watch your speed or it will cost you your pot of gold."

Motorcycle units stopped violators and issued the traffic citations after being informed by the "leprechaun" via radio. Officials said they issued about a ticket per minute.

 

that leprechaun likes to steal your gold
lol

 

I wonder if the excuse of trying to get away from a crazy leprechaun would fly in court.

 

That's the same officer that dresses up as Santa Claus and does the same thing around Christmas. You have to give them credit for using their imagination...

 

Crack-downs like this would do wonders for that stretch of road...you would think. Yeah...creative.

 

Not if you don't give it to him. You make that decision with your right foot.
