At this point it’s hard to give cops an excuse they haven’t heard before, so bravo to this girl on her creativity. Maybe she really does have a future in the arts.

Eighteen-year-old Abbie Huff of Pensacola, Florida was pulled over for speeding a few weeks ago. The cops spotted a bunch of open containers in the car, and saw that everyone inside was under 21.

So they searched the car and found Abbie’s fake ID — it was a Mississippi driver’s license that said she was over 21.

According to the police report, she told them, quote, “the license wasn’t illegal because it was not used and it can be legally possessed if she was acting.”

That wouldn’t have been a bad excuse, if they’d found it on her while she was filming a movie or doing a play.

Since that WASN’T the case, she was arrested for possession of a fake ID.
