Orlando, FL (March 30, 2011) - On Monday, March 27, at 4:50 p.m., James Stewart was arrested for allegedly impersonating a police officer. The incident occurred on Florida’s Highway 417 in Orlando, as Stewart was taking a friend to the airport to catch his flight. According to police reports, Stewart allegedly used his vehicle lights and red and blue lights to slow down a vehicle containing off duty police officers that had passed his vehicle. Stewart was in street clothes and never exited his vehicle during the incident. No confrontation or exchange of words between the officers and Stewart occurred. Stewart was not charged with any dangerous driving or any other negative action. The police report is clear that once Stewart slowed the police officers’ vehicle that he then drove towards the airport; several miles later, Stewart and his friend were pulled over at the airport where they fully cooperated with police.
Stewart is extremely sorry that the incident occurred and that any negative inferences may arise that reflect poorly on his fans, his team, or his sponsors. Stewart will continue working with authorities to resolve the incident quickly.
In James’ words: “Thanks to all that are standing by me. I hope to resolve this incident quickly and show people that I am someone that upholds the law and someone they can respect as a competitor and as a person.”
Stewart is free to race and is preparing for this weekend’s Supercross race in Arlington, Texas. He and his team will continue competing in the remainder of the Supercross series.

Stewart would be the first person to get arrested during a sx championship and win.
Chad Reed would be the first privateer to win a SX championship. (Maybe?)
What firsts can we get for RD and TC?
Trey will be the first champion that every single person likes
I don`t like to see good people get messed up in dumb shit. I hope he learned his lesson and puts it behind him .
good luck James
Do you need me to explain it any further?
Get over it and move on. Nothing here that is as bad as some would like to think.
The dude has had a very rough season.
knowing how hard he is on himself makes it even rougher.
He got his first win of his big-byke career in the DFW, so I'm hoping he can repeat the success this weekend.

then you say "Nothing here that is as bad as some would like to think." .........EXACTLY so what would be so epic about a win? thats all i was asking.
People throw words around like unfortunate, bad luck, "mistake" (my personal favorite). As you said though, it's just plain dumb. This is dumb for a 16-year old with no parental guidance, let alone for a 25 year old multi-millionaire professional athlete. Now I have better understanding of why he has no fear on the track.......
.......No Brain, No Pain.
Washington State Basketball player Klay Thompson got busted with a little weed this year., and took the mic in front of 20,000 fans on his home floor and apologized in front of everyone. he stepped up like a man and faced the music.
Not trying to stir the shit, but they did the same to j-law...just sayin
