SPEEDING BLUE-LIGHT DRIVER CONFIRMED SECRET SERVICE


UPDATE ON BLUE LIGHT DRIVER IN THE BLACK CHARGER:

Stuart Watson and WCNC’s I-team confirmed the vehicle in this video (*warning: contains rough language): UPDATE 5/31/12: the YouTube video has been marked "private", but you can see portions of it on the WCNC report linked below



is assigned to one of their agents.  Spokesman and Special Agent in Charge Russ Nelson of the Charlotte office is quoted by WCNC: “The employee was working on duty in an official capacity in a US Secret Service vehicle at the time of the incident.”   They have referred the incident to Office of Professional Responsibility—their version of Internal Affairs.

WCNC’s report describes the action this way:

Charger appears to travel over 80 miles an hour in a stretch of Interstate 77 near Tryon, Tyvola and Arrowood, where the speed limit is 55 mph. Once the Charger catches up with the SUV, the driver pulls in front of the SUV and then taps his brakes. The SUV passes the Charger in the left passing lane. Then the Charger pulls over the SUV using flashing blue lights in the front grill, and when the sport utility vehicle stops off at the I-485 off ramp before the flyover, the Charger speeds away up the I-485 flyover.

  1. The only thing I am suprised about here is that there are no comments on this story.

    I guess there really isn't much to say because it is about as suprising as the fact that Lavonte Evans is back in jail for yet another rape.

  2. yep. CMPD and DA's office hasn't got much to say as long as main stream media won't ask any sensible questions... like "what was on the video from the hotel where the first two women reported a sexual assualt?"

  3. Here is a question...

    How are the first several rapes that were dismissed, reported in the crime numbers? Do they count?

    Maybe we should all bet on it.

  4. the NCDOJ, FBI, SBI, DA, and CMPD still refuse to release the public documents that would answer that question.

    We need a federal prosecutor to ask.
