AMA Star James Stewart Arrested For Impersonating A Police Officer

It's been a tough season
for Team San Manuel Yamaha rider James Stewart, but things could be
about to get a whole lot worse. The two-time AMA Supercross
champion was reportedly arrested yesterday near his home town in
Florida on charges of impersonating a police officer.
Stewart was reportedly driving in his pickup truck with passenger
Quinalt Jehrrod when he turned on a pair of red-and-blue lights
made to mimic a police officer's siren. Stewart attempted to pull
over a car, then approached the vehicle. Unfortunately for Stewart,
the car contained three off-duty police officers, who identified
themselves to the racing star. At that point, Stewart ran back to
his car and attempted to flee.
Police eventually caught up with the rider. Jehrrod was arrested on
charges of evidence tampering, as he reportedly tried to hide the
police lights in his luggage. Both men posted bail and were taken
away by their families.
Stewart's racing season hasn't been faring much better than his
personal life, as he has had a rough two months. After jumping out
to an early lead in the points standings, Stewart suffered several
serious crashes throughout February and March, and hasn't won a
race since the first week in February. It's unknown how the arrest
will affect his status for the upcoming races.
