A driver in a hurry cut someone off Thursday on her way to southbound Interstate 43 near Locust St. and held up her middle finger as she was doing it.
Too bad for Cheryl A. Smith: The driver she flipped off was Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr.
Clarke promptly turned on the emergency lights of his unmarked Suburban and pulled Smith over near North Ave., according to a news release from his office. Both had been headed south on N. 8th St.
When Smith, 49, recognized the sheriff she said she was in a hurry, apologized and said she wouldn't have delivered the impudent digit if she'd realized it was Clarke.
He told her she shouldn't have made the improper traffic move, or the rude gesture, to anyone.
Clarke also ticketed Smith, who was driving a Ford Ranger, for operating while suspended and reckless driving. Deputies who responded then arrested her on a warrant for a previous charge of operating with a suspended license.
