Big news straight out of Dublin: the Stig has been SENSATIONALLY ARRESTED by a FRIENDLY POLICEMAN following an ALLEGED INCIDENT of some kind.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing the white-suited racing driver being hauled from his car by a member of the local Garda late yesterday afternoon, not 10 minutes after he mysteriously disembarking a bus headed to the city centre.
“I didn’t see what happened exactly,” said one onlooker, “but it was probably really bad. Maybe he punched a swan or tried to push one of the Hairy Bikers into the river. Again.”
The local police are yet to comment on the ALLEGED INCIDENT, but did helpfully confirm that the Natural Museum’s gift shop stays open until 5pm on weekdays.
This isn’t the first time that Top Gear’s tame racing driver has been in trouble with the authorities. In 2006 he had a similar run-in while racing Clarkson to Scotland in a kit car.
By freakish coincidence, the 2009 Top Gear Live World Tour will be stopping off in Dublin in December. And thanks to Stig’s little brush with the law, the world now knows all about that. Which is lucky.
Police have asked anyone with further information to refrain from writing ‘Wooh, first comment!’ in those box-things below.
Im sure he was fine with it probably just worked out some loophole in the law and now walking free. Some say he is a genius…
i wonder what the police man was thinkning when he was aresting the stig
Aha… the Stig cracks me up…
Ha ha ha gotta love the stig!
pretty cool
LOL stiggy gets in trouble again, I wish there was a video with like “a day in the life of the stig”
u
wow ha ha ha if u r serious then im gona go drive a beemer 2 work
The stig was arrested for polishing his helmet in a public place.
stick to doing ANNOYING CAPITALS on sniff petrol please, any chance of f1 twettage this weekend?
What would happen if he had been presented with this statement?: “it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.”
Wooh, not first comment
Wonder what a policeman would think if he was a topgear fan and knew what stig is all about and then thought..”oh look its the stig!” and then “what am I going to do now..he doesn’t talk back”
Wooh, fourteenth comment!
punched a swan, hahahaha….
wow 14th comment
i wonder what his face was like when that hapened?
I agree with the authorities. Typing “woo, first comment!” or any other such trivial spam should become an arrestable offence, carrying a life sentence.
I bet if I started a petition on the government site thingy, enough people would sign it, too!
some say….. the garda were asking for driver training.
They should definitley make a vid like that, what Sam said, id love to see it.
I love da stig! :3
strange creature thou he is it still amazes me the mans abilty to run into the law and get away with it whatever it may me
Sam Philip, you said “The local police are yet to comment on the ALLEGED INCIDENT”, you should of said the local Gardaí, no??? It was in Dublin
21st comment…
*22nd comment
and this is (hopefully) the 23 comment
OMG HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!??!?!? !!!!
Is he still in Dublin?
*takes camera out and goes Stig hunting!*
how would he be arrested because when h got arrested before he couldn’t talk to police and if he has never been on public transport that much he wouldn’t be standing half outside that train
and WWOOOOOOOHHHH 25th Comment
Gutted I missed u cousin Stig
Do u reckon they asked him ‘you have the right to remain silent’?
does he know what a policeman is? or what he can do? i guess the stig thought he could help him get back to his planet and so just went along with the cop…coz some say he injects alien blood into whoever shakes his hand………..
Typical Top Gear…I doubt he was arrested at all. They also said he was arrested in the Mojave desert today. Just hype for their upcoming World Live Tour.
Some say he’s found very attractive to Scottish and Irish police officers…and that the only way you can bail him out of the clanger is to bring him a ram’s horn.
All we know is…The Stig is made of win.
…*been* found very attractive, even.
Maybe The Stig was arresting the policeman.
I always thought that Stig was beyond the rozzers??
The embarrassing thing is that I heard his birth mark is his drivers license and it’s on his bum!
@shelly. I’m sure you were right the first time
I’m betting our boy Stig has FOUND very attractive Scottish and Irish police officers 
i’m surprised that the rozzers could even catch the stig with those cars. or was he driving sensationally slow that day?
Guys vote Stig for this year’s heat magazine weird crush of the year!!!
He should write an autobiography.
it’ll prbably be in morse code, but i’d buy it!
anyone agree?
@Sambawacki[38], I think he already does fortnightly autobiographies… they’re called AutoTrader.
I heard the police had to call in the fire brigade to saw off the steering column because the Stig had been driving so long that his hands had become one with the steering wheel.
Some Say he licks the moisture of ACER Laptops and its ears are in his eyes all we know is Hes called Cuddles
Re: Ash (17). I would sign your petition, although personally, I would prefer to line up all the “first, 101st etc commenters” and shoot them, very slowly, from the feet up.
It will never happen, of course, but one can dream!
Мне кажется ништяк!
GO STIG!!
The Stig has American cousins you know. Check out this blast from the past video of them:
http://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=7yRRqxJHQmA
If you can’t click it, go to youtube and type “Cheap Trick Dream Police” and make this “The Stig” mascot video….
“Stig….Mah…..Tah!” Rocks!
woooh! 46th comment
some say he wears an anti-constabulary spray which makes him immune from the law, we just know hes the stig
some say,he is the prime minister of some sort, and that he is actually scottish, all we know is he’s called gordon brownstig.
GO STIGGY
Wooh.! 50th comment.
Some say anything he says will be used against him in a court of law, and that he has died twice, but Death can’t catch him.
All we know is he’s called the Paddy.
‘Police have asked anyone with further information to refrain from writing ‘Wooh, first comment!’ in those box-things below.’
That actually made my day and made me laugh abit too much.
Stig rules!
stiggy could out run any copper!!!
The Garda would be asking him for his TAX AND INSURANCE. And pointing to the local Spar shop.
when does the new series start ? Any word anyone ??
ps this new site is a bit shit. the old one was much better.. I miss the foremannnnn and cupholder..
Heh heh, Stig getting nicked by the Paddy police, Nice one! probably driving too fast again or harassing some Irish birds (by bird I mean a group women not the animal or a swan)
Go on Stigs my son!
i agree a video should be made a day in the life of the stig =) my mum bought me a stiggy bank from tesco haha its awesome!! x

Stig is THE MAN!!!!
WOOH, 66th comment!
stig should do an audio book, how about harry potter only gawd knows what edition???
ich loves die stig
Stig ist die beste
vor die stigg
Ich liebe dich mit allen,
Ich liebe dich mit allen,
die ich bin und alle bin ich überhaupt.
Sie sind mein Mond, meine Sonne und Sterne,
meine Masse, mein Himmel, mein Meer.
Meine Liebe für Sie geht unten und unten
unter das Leben und Tod,
also tief muß es bleiben,
wenn ich meinen letzten schwachen Atem gezeichnet habe.
Das Halten Sie für Monate und Jahre
läßt Zeit verschwinden,
bildet Ihre Lippen meine Lippen,
Ihr Gesicht mein Gesicht, Ihr Riß mein Riß;
Bildet uns ein merkwürdiges personage,
das alle im Bliss intertwined,
nicht Mann oder Frau,
Phasen- oder tot — gerade nichts — aber einen Kuß!
Stig,ist das ein Knutschfleck an deinem Hals?
I’m sure it’s all just a stunt. After all, some say that the Stig can never be taken alive, because he is not techncially alive.
Ah the Stig was on the Luas, I get the Luas ! Would have been nice to see it !
Some say… that when the Stig gets caught short, he wees through his eyes.
But doing it in front of the Garda with his visor open was just asking for trouble
)
and just to milk it completely…. woo! 73rd comment!
Jeremy drowns the Twingo….Okay!
The Stig getting arrested…Priceless!
yay 75th comment!!! he he.
oh hello mr dutchie policeman…
free the stig one
HIS ROYAL STIGNESS DOES IT AGAIN!!
The swan complained to health and safety probably 
And the gift shop is crap!!!!!
love that even the people at topgear are sick of people going “whooo first comment” like the rest of us!!!!
The Stig is a stupid creature, is this a woman or a very small man?. Think he is a clown like Top Gear programme. Isn’t about time to end this programme after all thois years and come up sokething new? Another thing, the selfish Britishness of judging the cars are silly, great cars get dumped and only British one’s get best retults. Childishj, the biggest child of all, Clarksson, should be taken off screen for good. And for Gods sake please let us get rid of this Stig person or let us know who he are. If Top Gear did know who really owned the brands they were testing, they would only ride bikes. Cherio.
is he going to do something in switzerland please dont. if you speed they give you capital punishment!!!!!!!!!!
i think?
But wouldnt it be confusing, he can’t speak to anyone so he just sits there being quiet.
Wooh, eighty first comment!
Krummelure (80th comment) me thinks you should get a life. hahaha the Stig (and Top Gear) is the best thing that has happen to TV since, well, since the moon landing…You just got to love the Stig and Top Gear.
Bring the Stig down under again, and make TOP GEAR Australia heaps better.
WOOHOO!!!
Gawd I Love Top Gear, Best Show on TV
Some say he eats car keys and drinks beer from a teacup while driving a mini down the M1 and listening to Dire Straits “I Want My MTV/Money For Nothing”…all we know is he’s called The Stig…”ster”! YEEEEEEHAAWWWWWWWW!
When is Top Gear back in 2009?
Krummelure (80th comment) please refrain from insulting great tv in the English language until you have an appropriate grasp of how it works. Cheers
Blah….Blah! Hey, why R the comments 0-zeroed out? We don’t count anymore…is that it?!
Holy cow….the counts back! What is Count Stigula doing for Halloween? I hope getting arrested again…for taking his mask off maybe? Take your mask off…oh, you already took it off??!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! !!!
Hi I talked to Stig about his incident and he said he got arrested for punching a horse in the face and then he took a swim in the river so he got arrested and one more thing…
WOO HOO 91st COMMENT!
Ah that stig……..
Can’t believe I never heard about that for soooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooolong!! !!!:O:O:O
Suppose Donegal is always seen as a seaprate country by anyone with anything to do with our TERRIBLE government!:S
P.S.
THE DONEGAL INTERNATIONAL RALLY ROCKS!!!!!!!!
Always has, always will.
Even when The Mount Errigal was still The Ballyraine. Good times.
P.P.S.
Ever think about doing something in Donegal? On Rally Weekend? In Ireland at all?
??????
Suppose the worlds worst kept roads being located here doesn’t help…………
And I don’t mean just TG Live/Not leaving Dublin?Not going further north than O’Connell Street………..
with the irish law he will get off wit it
Let’s hope the stigma of this unfortunate incident doesn’t affect his career like the last traffic incident involving a minor celeb.
Oh come on… it was just a stunt! As if the policeman would book someone who’s got like 3 cameras around him! Plus, by law they have to identify someone they arrest obviously for their reports!
The Stig is too good to be arrested anyway! =P
