Randel Riggsbee Attempted To Elude Police In A Vehicle He Hoped They Wouldn’t Spot


Wake County, NC (The Weekly Vice) - Randel Levone Riggsbee, a 32-year-old Chapel Hill man was jailed after he led police on a high speed chase in a hot pink Hello Kitty car.

According to the Wake County Sheriff's Office, a deputy pulled over a 1997 pink Grand Marquee with Hello Kitty vanity plates for a traffic violation around 8:45 a.m.

As the officer approached, the vehicle sped away and proceeded west on I-40. The North Carolina Highway Patrol was called in to assist in the pursuit - which reached speeds of up to 85 mph.

Stop sticks were deployed to bring Riggsbee's vehicle to a halt, however the vehicle managed to strike another vehicle in the process.

Riggsbee jumped out of his vehicle and attempted to flee, but was placed into custody around 9:00 a.m. Officers seized an undetermined amount of money during the arrest.

Riggsbee was booked into jail and charged with 2 felonies and 13 misdemeanors. Charges and bond information were not available.

"Officers seized an undetermined amount of money during the arrest."

Maybe that was money he got from the sell of "Mary Kay" beauty products.

That's more "Baskin-Robbins" pink, than Mary Kay pink.

Maybe it's a trend, like young men riding around on little girl's pink bikes about 10 years ago. It was apparently enough of a status symbol, that losers would actually BUY the bikes if they didn't have the balls to steal one.

So it's really his car then? For some reason I thought it was a stolen car.

Doubt it's his. Some females do prefer this kind of ride. Hope he doesn't come out for awhile; if the gene pool lifeguard can't cover every single need, he/she needs a back-up plan to keep some folks outta circulation.
Hello. Kitty?
