KALKASKA COUNTY, MI - There's never a good time to litter.

But if you're going to try and discard trash out of your window, doing so while driving behind a conservation officer with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources probably isn't the best time.

Unfortunately for one Michigan resident, that's what happened earlier this month in Northern Michigan.

According to an official DNR report, the incident occurred when CO Mike Hearn observed a vehicle quickly approach from behind while he was on patrol on a county road in Kalkaska County.

The vehicle began to "tailgate" Hearn's patrol vehicle, according to the report, when he observed the driver take both hands off the wheel to bang golf shoes together outside their window.

The driver then discarded a fountain drink container from his vehicle. A traffic stop was made and the driver was cited for numerous violations, the report said.

Kalkaska County is in DNR District 5 which also includes Alcona, Arenac, Clare, Crawford, Gladwin, Iosco, Missaukee, Ogemaw, Oscoda and Roscommon counties.
