Isn't nice when real justice really works!!  
Don't Give the Sheriff "The Finger"
Driver Learns About 'Flipping Off' Sheriff The Indianapolis Star
March 16, 2004
Evansville, Indiana A woman made an obscene gesture toward an SUV Monday -- one carrying the county sheriff and chief deputy -- and ended up in jail, police said.
Mary Ann Sweeney, 33, of Evansville was stopped behind a bus.
She pulled to the left to get around the bus at the same moment a Ford Explorer started to pass. The SUV braked to let her in, police said.
Sweeney then "flipped off" the Explorer's driver, Vanderburgh County Chief Deputy Eric Williams, he said. The passenger was Sheriff Brad Ellsworth.
The Explorer was marked as a sheriff's vehicle, but did not have a light bar on top, police said.
Ellsworth and Williams pulled Sweeney over to talk to her about her "road rage" and ran a check on her license plate.
They found that both she and her husband, Jerry DeWayne Sweeney, were wanted on outstanding civil warrants for $500 each, and that the car was illegally registered, police said.
Ellsworth said they found marijuana in the car and in the woman's purse and cigarette pack. Mary Ann Sweeney also was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession.
The couple was taken to the Vanderburgh County Jail and later bonded out.
No listing was available in the Evansville area for Mary Ann or Jerry Sweeney.
"I guess the moral of the story is, if you have warrants against you, you shouldn't flip off the police," Ellsworth said.
"I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. . . . . .
They've experienced pain and bought jewelry."

As they drove her away, she was heard to say: 'I shot the Sheriff (the finger), but I did not shoot the Deputy.'

Couldn't have happened to a better pair of dumbasses. When causing trouble in traffic, ensure that you have copious amounts of illegal drugs in your car. Sheesh!
 ALWAYS OUT FRONT

Too funny! She got what she deserved.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 "Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,
Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.
One died for your soul; the other for your freedom."

heh, I might have been guilty of flipping off the sheriff in that situation too, I wouldn't have been guilty of carrying a shitload of dope and having outstanding warrants out for my arrest though. Flipping the Bird = Road Rage? who'd a thought?

I can vouch that Ed doesn't do drugs. If he got caught doing anything, it would be running Moonshine. Kate looks around and wonders where that banjo music is coming from..............
