TRUTH !!
When police officer William Henry West pulled over Ulysses S. Grant for speeding in a horse-drawn carriage on the streets of Washington, D.C. in 1872, he issued the president a warning. The very next day, however, West caught Grant in the midst of another race with his friends.
Looking like "a schoolboy who had been caught in a guilty act by his teacher," as West recalled to the Evening Star in 1908, Grant reportedly asked, "Do you think, officer, that I was violating the speed laws?"
Answering in the affirmative, West replied, "I am very sorry, Mr. President, to have to do it, for you are the chief of the nation, and I am nothing but a policeman, but duty is duty, sir, and I will have to place you under arrest."
Grant's brush with the law marked the first and so far only time a sitting United States president has been arrested.
