Here is a story that will give you flashbacks of when Michael Scott on the show “The Office” drove into a lake after following his GPS.

According to Plymouth Police, recently, Officers encountered a man trying to drive across the water in Hobbs Hole, over to Plymouth Beach. He had been “following” his GPS from Mattapoisett to Brockton.

Somehow, Plymouth was on this roundabout route, and he followed his trusty GPS which led him down Stevens Lane, past the dead end, and into the rocks and sand, with his vehicle coming to rest just before the water.

Officers did advise him at the scene that common sense should prevail when GPS advises to drive through a body of water.

The 34-year-old Brockton man thanked the Officers for their advice while he was arrested for negligent operation of a motor vehicle, O.U.I. liquor, and for not having his GPS inspected…correction…vehicle inspected.
