If you crash into a police car and the officer asks for your driver's license, here's a tip: Don't hand him a beer instead.

Police in Dunwoody, Georgia, say that's what Damon Tobias Exum, 37, did after slamming into a patrol car shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday.

The officer was not injured in the crash and managed to chase down and stop Exum’s vehicle, WSB-TV reports.



When asked for his driver’s license, Eum allegedly handed the officer a beer.

Dunwoody Police spokesman Sgt. Fidel Espinoza said the suspectwas “totally unaware that he had collided with the officer’s patrol car,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Dunwoody police Officer Tim Fecht may have been understating Exum's actions when he told the New York Daily News: “The driver was intoxicated and not making the best decisions.”
