Sir Isaac Ford, the son of former Congressman Harold Ford, Sr., was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of driving drunk.
Ford was charged with DUI, public intoxication, speeding and disorderly conduct after being stopped in Midtown about 4 a.m.
When he was brought to the Shelby County Jail for processing, Ford became combative and refused to give a thumb print, according to police reports.
Police said he did poorly on the field sobriety tests and registered a .115 on the breath alcohol test.
Memphis officers spotted Ford, 32, speeding in a red Mercedes-Benz on Union at Cleveland, according to the charges. At Cooper, police said, Ford was traveling 60 mph in a 35 mph zone. They pulled him over at East Parkway, where Ford agreed to take the sobriety tests, according to reports.
Once in the jail, Ford became combative and began cursing, police said. He was put in a holding cell at the jail when he refused to give his thumb print.

In the pantheon of stupid names, this might even top Lawyer Milloy.

Re your tag, how much do those jugs weigh? Can I learn? Would English, Scottish, or Welsh jugs work just as well?

It maybe spelled Sir, but it’s pronounced cur.
It’s an old family name...

No, see if you name your child “Sir”, people have to respect him.

His parents named him “Sir” to ease the tension when the police say,”Sir, please step out of the vehicle.”
