Man ‘living his best life’ goes viral after being pulled over in toy Barbie Jeep, arrested

According to CBC News, Kasper Lincoln of Prince Georgia, Canada was taken into custody after law enforcement executed a traffic stop on a pink Barbie Jeep designed for children in north-central British Columbia on Friday, September 5.

Images obtained by the outlet show Lincoln behind the wheel of the toy car in a pair of aviator sunglasses while on what was described as a “high-traffic” roadway.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police told CBC News that after Lincoln was pulled over by an unmarked police cruiser, it was determined that he had a suspended license and was possibly intoxicated, which was later verified by two breath analysis tests, per the outlet.
