Rev. Al Sharpton's driver arrested near Dallas

11:25 AM CDT on Monday, August 29, 2005

Associated Press

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.

Yessir! But unlike Rev. Al , Morris is never late, because he always knows what time it is.

Correction Al's driver was Jarrett Maupin Sr.

Story here.
Phoenix City Council candidate Jarrett Maupin II had a run-in with Texas law enforcement ... Maupin was riding in a car driven by his father, Jarrett Barton Maupin, 43... . Also riding in the car were the Rev. Al Sharpton and one of Sharpton's assistants... The younger Maupin said they were not speeding and that his father was arrested on "trumped up" charges.
