 Random Thoughts: Jimmy Spencer Arrested
Details seem to be very sketchy but apparently Nascar driver Jimmy Spencer was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting a police officer because he interferred with officers who were trying to serve a warrant on his son.
What's amazing to me is that Spencer did this when the warrant was only because his son was accused of pouring paint on some cars, not exactly a capitol offense.
Spencer can be very funny and I like the way he speaks his mind, though sometimes he could better serve himself by keeping some of his most controversial comments to himself.
