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.
Ping...be glad this wasn't the cop you ran into....LOL
We need an independent investigation. I'm betting that Sharpton told the driver to speed, in which case, Sharpton should have been arrested as an accessory.
So... that's how he gets his hair to look that way.
Why is Al standing on a chair?
Whatever. Going 110 MPH somehow makes it DWB, huh?
I will bet that the Ellis County Deputey is one of the guys that raped and rubbed feces on Twany Brawley and stopped Al Dullton to get even with him.
Bwahahahahahahahaha
Oh, your gonna be a good one!
Welcome home. ;)
Certain parts of Texas don't look too kindly on dandies who pomade their hair.
Actually,having lived in Dallas for a few years, you have to drive that fast to keep from getting rear-ended....
Going 110mph with a joint in one hand and a loaded pistol in the other is still DWB in Rev's world.
GOOD JOB, Texas DPS!
Makes him look tall, dontcha think?
It's for that "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" moment.
~LOL~ I have an ex-brother-in-law who is a Texas State Trooper -- he would ticket his own mother!
Gad! I cannot stop grinning!
a real link would be VERY helpful
" ... the car was impounded at the rental agency's request."
This is why one should never buy a former rental car.
Why don't you just let us get on down the road?
Here is Al's defense
Texas is twice as big as anywhere so driving 110 there is the same as driving 55 some where else.
So, nobody else in the car had a driver's license?
I thought you were being serious before! I'm glad that's not the case.
