A couple pulled over for speeding this week gave the police officer the best excuse ever: they were in the middle of having a baby.\u00a0Florida sheriff’s deputy Robert Pounds clocked a car going 63 mph in a 45 mph zone at 4:30 a.m. on October 1, and when he approached the vehicle he heard a man yelling, “Officer, help!”<\/p>\n

“Officer, you have the right to stop me, I’m not even gonna lie,” Wilfrid Jean-Louis told Pounds. “We have baby coming out, look, look, look! That’s the reason why I’m speeding, officer. I don’t know what to do.”<\/p>\n

Naples Daily News<\/a> reports that Jean-Louis’ wife Fabienne Gorges was screaming in the passenger seat and the baby’s head was crowning. Pounds called for backup and immediately jumped into action. He ran to his patrol car to grab latex gloves and a sterile blanket. Then he delivered the baby girl — and the entire event was captured on his police car’s dash-cam.<\/p>\n
