Sirmans was pulled over and got out of the car with his hands raised and apologized for his actions, police said.
"I think we are a little beyond apology," an officer said in response, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.
In a video posted by the Daytona Beach News-Journal, police officers can be heard laughing as Sirmans asks whether or not his crime was a felony.
"Oh, yeah, it's like the toppest felony we can go," Daytona Beach police Officer Steve Pignataro answers in the video.
