Amarillo Sheriff Chases Bootleg Car In Swift Stampede
Sheriff Wiley Pollard used a Stutz to pursue a bootleg vehicle through Amarillo during Prohibition. The chase reached speeds over a mile per minute as Pollard forced the car to halt after seizing a cargo of corn liquor and arresting its occupants. One prisoner noted the sheriff's nerve, and Pollard replied that they had to drive as fast as he did.
