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.

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.

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.

Certain parts of Texas don't look too kindly on dandies who pomade their hair.

Going 110mph with a joint in one hand and a loaded pistol in the other is still DWB in Rev's world.

It's for that "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" moment.

" ... the car was impounded at the rental agency's request."

This is why one should never buy a former rental car.

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.
