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.

I thought it was unconstitutional for Americans to accept titles of nobility. If not, I’d like to put my name in the hat for Duke of South Georgia, please.
Similar? That’s one funny coinkidinky!
If you actually name your child “Sir” you deserve caning ping.

A distant relative of my husband’s is named Milady. It’s pronounced (almost) like Melody.
That would be the lovely and talented Ophelia Ford. Quite a class act, I’m told.
Juggling pins weigh about one pound. Regarding my comment about stupid names, I was referring to Sir Isaac, not your tag. Hope that there was no misunderstanding.
Corporal General James.....and right before we finished, he got busted to Private General James, USMC.
This is almost as bad as when Mr. and Mrs. Jablomie named their new son Heywood.
Is “Sir” like “Prince” Michael?? (Michael Jackson’s kids)
You must respect him because his name is “Sir”.
And to think Harold Ford, Jr. almost won a senate seat from Tennessee back in 2006.
He’s actually the sane one of the bunch.

What about the young Jorgan boy, Hugh?
It was not unusual in the black community to name children Lawyer,General,Major,Captain,etc so when the white man would not address you as “Mister”so and so at least your first name would force him to show some respect.
The whole “Sir”this and that is just a continuation of that tendency.I know a few “Sir’s”from my working in the schools.Its like all the girls named Precious,Unique and Empress-a way to bring elegance into a very non elegant environment.
Michael Jackson's kids. LOL. Jacko's kids. When I hear that, I think - kids that Jacko targeted. And not the kids he pretends to parent who arrived at his home through various odd means that ought to be investigated more thoroughly.
His boys are called Prince and Blanket. Yeah, his boys are going to have a very interesting life.
Be nice, there are some Americans with legitmate claim to those titles. Though technically honorary in the US, it is customary to use them if the holder requests. My daughter’s school almost found that out.
Actually the joke was mine!
