Texas Woman On Tractor Leads Cops On Bizarre Chase After They Wouldn't Let Her Enter July 4th Parade

A 60-year-old woman in Texas faces charges after leading Rockwall Police on a chase where she sped away from them in her tractor.

Laurie Bostic of Rockwall, Texas, outran three officers on her tractor while also being pursued by a squad car. Apparently, she was incensed when officers told her she and her tractor were not welcome into a local 4th of July parade.

A second video shows Bostic being arrested and placed in the squad car.

Bostic was then taken into custody and charged with evading arrest, a 3rd-degree felony.

She is also facing misdemeanor charges of interfering with a processional, disorderly conduct, and criminal mischief.

Folks were quick to comment on the discrepancy they saw between how this woman was treated, and how a similar interaction might have been handled by the police if the perpetrator was a black woman.

While this video is very entertaining, most folks reacted to its hidden implication that a white woman on a tractor would receive nothing more than a slap on the wrist. That same interaction would not have gone well otherwise.

But it is good to know that once can outrun the cops on a tractor.
