PRESIDENTIAL PASTIMES, PART II: another good one

» FortBrooke1824 - another good one

Yes, when stopped Grant insisted the the officer give him a ticket for speeding. In fact Grant would also write a letter to the officers superiors complimenting him on his duty. Another President, Pierce had also be given a ticket in this same park of Rock Creek for reckless driving. As the officer did not know Pierce someone at the White House had to come and vouch for him. It's to bad that it took Levy's body to be found at Rock Creek to make it well known.
