A Florida man who was pulled over Sunday night for driving recklessly told the officer he “needed to get home in a hurry because he was cheating on his wife,” according to an arrest affidavit.

John Earl Pickard, 52, was going above 90 mph in a 55 mph zone on U.S. 19 when he was pulled over, the affidavit said.

Pickard told the Tarpon Springs Police Department officer “his driving was reckless and endangering because he needed to get home in a hurry because he was cheating on his wife.”

While taking Pickard into custody, an officer found crack cocaine in a “plastic sandwich baggie in his front T-shirt pocket,” the affidavit said.

Pickard told the officer he had “just purchased” the crack cocaine for $50, according to the affidavit.
