      Sounds like you might be joking, but that’s not at all what happened. (See the the last sentence)

      Full text from the article:

      It wasn’t the average traffic stop on the Baltimore Beltway Tuesday morning.

      Maryland state troopers noticed a man playing a drum kit on the shoulder of the Interstate 695 inner loop, between Windsor Mill Road and Security Boulevard, around 10:30 a.m., a spokeswoman said.

      He told state police he had run out of gas and decided to set up and practice until assistance arrived. A State Highway Administration truck stopped and helped him refill his tank

      The drummer was not cited and continued on his way, she said. Police did not identify him.
