[WoodysGirl]

Was he driving in a high chair? I mean really. What car could he actually be able to drive?

WARWICK, Ga. — Emmanuel Lewis, the former child star of the '80s TV series Webster, got off with a warning for speeding after giving his autograph and posing for a photo with police, officials said.

Officer Ron Kirk said he stopped a vehicle Tuesday afternoon in rural southwestern Georgia that had been traveling 70 mph in a 45 mph zone. Kirk immediately recognized Lewis.

"Well, I grew up watching him and he was very nice and professional, so I just gave him a courtesy warning," Kirk told Albany TV station WALB.

The officer asked for his autograph, and Lewis, 34, agreed to pose for a picture with Kirk and the town's police chief, Randy Howard Jr.

Kirk said Lewis, who lives in the Atlanta area, was probably unfamiliar with the road and didn't realize there were speed-limit changes.

Warwick, a tiny lakeside town about 30 miles northeast of Albany, gets most of its police department revenues from speeding fines, Kirk said.

He probably has a custom car with controls that allow him to drive. The question is where were George and ma'am

Unfamiliar wioth the road and didnt know there were changes???? *** kinda crap is that. Speed limit signs and reduced speed signs.........HELLOOOOOOOO

Well I guess next time i get pulled over in Warwick I can be polite and professional, let them take my picture, and sign an autograph and not the one on a ticket either. The fact that people actually get away with things like this amaze me. Its almost as amazing as the fact that this guy obvioulsy told someone that he basically didnt do his job.
