Man arrested for speeding to vet after pet cat convulses However, Butler didn\u2019t stop to get a speeding ticket. Even after officers attempted to ram his car, he peeled off from the scene. Knowing his cat\u2019s life was at stake, he continued until he reached the nearest vet\u2026 but he didn\u2019t make it into the doors in time. He was quickly apprehended by officers, who tased him, all while Butler pleaded with them in an attempt to explain the situation with his cat.

While he initially faced reckless driving charges, a judge overseeing the case understood Butler\u2019s panic and had them dropped \u2014 but he still had to pay a $375 fine, as reported by crazed.

That\u2019s love,\u201d another wrote.
