MARION COUNTY, Fla. – Slowpokes on the road can frustrate just about anyone. So when Marion County Sheriff's Deputy Bryan Bowman got behind a guy going one mile per hour in a 30-mph zone, he wasn't thrilled.
Deputy Bowman was slowed down to almost a complete stop because of a pesky turtle.

THE NERVE OF THIS GUY!! Folks, it’s time for another episode of “Deputies Walking with Wildlife”... MCSO Deputy Bryan Bowman was working at the KP Hole today and as he was driving, he saw THIS dude just walkin’ down the road. Seeing multiple traffic infractions occurring, Deputy Bowman flipped around behind him and threw on his lights to slow down traffic. He tried to get him off the road but he snapped at Deputy Bowman....the nerve!! Deputy Bowman then just followed the old man for about 20 minutes until he finally went into the woods... anyone know what kind of tortoise this is? #slowwwwwwsunday Thanks to Deputy Bowman for catching this wild encounter on tape and for sharing it with us!!

Bowman said that he tried to guide the turtle off the road, but the turtle "snapped" at him.
The post has gone viral because of the deputy's sense of humor.
