A bizarre traffic stop involving a pink Barbie Jeep ended up with the joyriding adult drunk driver in cuffs.
Man gets DUI driving Barbie Jeep
Kasper Lincoln was spotted riding down a busy Canadian street in his roommate’s daughter’s toy jeep when officers pulled him over.
The vehicle, designed for children, was hot pink and comically small compared to the traffic around it.
Lincoln admitted to borrowing it on a whim while on his way to grab a Slurpee, with a friend walking nearby as he cruised the road.
“I never drove it before,” Lincoln laughed about taking the Barbie Jeep for a spin while speaking with CBC News.
Viral footage of the spectacle quickly exploded online, showing Lincoln behind the wheel in a closed construction lane and later being pulled over by an unmarked police car with flashing lights.
Lincoln described the unusual traffic stop to The Citizen. “So when I was driving by him, he stopped and said ‘hey, what’s up man? Can you pull over so I can talk to you?'”
“I was like ‘Yeah, sure, I can pull over. He pulled up right behind me and had his lights flashing. I was just smiling the whole time,’” he recalled.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police tested Lincoln after discovering his license had been suspended. Breath tests confirmed his blood alcohol level was over the legal limit.
He was arrested and hit with charges of prohibited driving, issued a 90-day ban, and is expected in court in December.
Witnesses nearby couldn’t believe the sight. “He didn’t look like he was speeding to me,” said bystander Nikita Morgan.
Another woman, Summer Caron, who recorded video of the arrest, added, “You’re really arresting him for driving a kid’s Jeep?”
Caron said she was stunned police chose to intervene since Lincoln appeared to be driving the toy close to the curb at “maybe 3 miles per hour.”
Officials say Barbie Jeep DUI stop justified
Law enforcement defended their actions. RCMP officials said the arrest was justified due to Lincoln’s suspended license and the risk to motorists.
Staff Sgt. Kris Clark explained to CBC that an uninsured vehicle alone warranted arrest, especially when paired with other infractions.

Lincoln claimed he was using hand signals to indicate turns and said his main takeaway was simple: don’t drink and drive.
While Lincoln’s joyride ended with handcuffs and social media mockery, a far more harrowing incident played out in Queens, New York.

Prosecutors allege that 38-year-old Edwin Cruz-Gomez deliberately rammed his Chevy Suburban into 16-year-old Jhoanny Alvarez, killing her in front of her family after a fight broke out outside Prima Donna Restaurant.
Assistant District Attorney Abigail Neumiller recounted in Queens Criminal Court that Cruz-Gomez began harassing Alvarez and her mother with lewd comments.
The sexualized remarks reportedly sparked a violent confrontation with Alvarez’s stepfather.
Teenager run down by drunk driver
Bystanders intervened to stop the fight, but prosecutors said Cruz-Gomez escalated the situation by getting into his SUV, which was double-parked on Roosevelt Avenue.
He allegedly gunned the vehicle at high speed, driving the wrong way on a one-way street before veering onto the sidewalk. He struck three family members, fatally hitting Alvarez.
“The 16-year-old was hit so hard that she was impaled,” Neumiller told the courtroom.
Security footage captured the moment at around 4:15 a.m., when Cruz-Gomez’s vehicle barreled down Roosevelt Avenue, jumped the curb, and sped toward the family.
Pedestrians scrambled out of the way, but Alvarez and two others were hit. The teen’s mother suffered leg injuries and was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital in stable condition. Jhoanny Alvarez was pronounced dead at the scene.
The video then showed Cruz-Gomez reversing with both driver’s side doors open as onlookers attempted to stop him.
He crashed into an unoccupied van before abandoning the SUV and fleeing.
When police later encountered him, he appeared intoxicated and complained he had been assaulted.
Officers said his blood alcohol level registered at 0.137, nearly twice the legal limit, four hours after the crash.
Cruz-Gomez told the police that he had been beaten up outside the bar because of what he said to Jhoanny.
“I was talking to a guy about a girl. It happened over here. I was driving. I hit a pole. Her boyfriend beat me up. I was talking to a guy about meeting girls. I may have said the wrong thing. I was upset,” he said to arresting officers.
“She was saying ‘No fighting.’ I don’t know her. I got in my car. I followed them. I crashed my car into a pole,” he confessed. “I was going 25 miles an hour. I don’t have a license. Did I kill her?”
One witness recalled seeing Cruz-Gomez sitting on the ground after the crash. “He was sitting on the floor, and he was crying and hysterical and trying to cope, I guess, with what he just did, and he did seem like he was intoxicated.”
Authorities charged Cruz-Gomez with second-degree murder, multiple counts of attempted murder, vehicular manslaughter, assault, and driving under the influence-related offenses.
He was ordered held without bail and will return to court on September 19. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years to life in prison.
