Rev. Al Sharpton's driver arrested near Dallas

WAXAHACHIE - The Reverend Al Sharpton's driver is free on bail after sheriff's deputies say he was arrested for driving 110 miles per hour on an Ellis County highway near Waxahachie.

Jarrett Barton Maupin, 43, of Phoenix was freed on $1,000 bail after Sunday's arrest.

An Ellis County sheriff's spokesman said a deputy spotted a car containing Maupin and Sharpton speeding north yesterday afternoon on Interstate 35E, about 40 miles south of Dallas.

State troopers headed off and stopped the car just west of Waxahachie. Maupin told the troopers he was hurrying to get the New York civil rights activist and two other passengers to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Williams said the car was impounded at the rental agency's request, and Sharpton and the two other passengers were offered a ride to a nearby hotel. They declined and said they'd walk, although there is no word on where they went.

Sharpton had been in Crawford earlier in the day to visit with Cindy Sheehan, who has been leading an anti-war vigil near President Bush's Central Texas ranch.

considering statistical probability, I will live longer than al will. I plan to spit on his grave. like jesse spit on hamburgers and sandwiches he served to whites when he was a youngster working in a restaurant. Don't call me on this factoid, he admitted to it.

"He could argue that they were just going downhill. Since they can only go 30 MPH uphill, it averages out."

Or he can claim his sail-like hair caught a tailwind and thus caused them to go faster. (chuckie)

You just don't run from Texas Highway Patrol. You just don't.

Unfortunately I missed it too. I was so worn out from Thursday's drive and all-day concert, Friday's seven hours of driving, and Saturday's events. I decided that it was wiser to go on home. I was facing that 4 hour long drive back home as well as having to finish up all my licensing paperwork for my next assignment. I lounged around about an hour after you girls left and saw Humidston and the rest of the girls off. Anymouse slept til 1130; he was beat too.

I hope your trip was safe and trouble-free. My drive home was uneventful, but the last straw as far as my energy was concerned. I could hardly keep my eyes open the last hour on the road. I got my paperwork done and fell asleep without dinner before 8 pm and slept straight through til 7am this morning.

I had a great time meeting you and the rest of the Texas FReepers for the first time; we will definitely have to do this again!

CRAWFORD TX-
President Bush's supporters poured into Crawford by the thousands Saturday,
for the first time outnumbering war protesters led by Cindy Sheehan,
who began a vigil here three weeks ago,
demanding a personal meeting with the vacationing president
to talk about her son's death in Iraq.
