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.

State Troopers did not offer a ride, I'll bet on that.

Anyways, that is great.

I didn't know Algore III was Sharpton's driver.

Oh, to see a picture of this would be priceless.

Maybe the sheriff's deputies have those videocams in their cars. If so, I'll bet it turns up on the internet.

Guess even crazy Al needed to get away from crazy Sheehan REAL FAST. When one wacko finds another wacko to be even wackier than he is, it's prolly real scarey, and prolly contagious.
