And shout-out to the cop for helping people stay safe on the road, because it could have ended much worse than it did.”

“It's not a reflection of my parents, who have raised me much better than that. It's not a reflection on the people around me, who know how stupid that is and how selfish it was.”

— Chase McWhorter
