PRIL 19--Comedian Chris Tucker was briefly jailed Sunday morning after Georgia cops pulled over his speeding 2005 Bentley when he did not immediately stop for them. Tucker, 33, spent about 30 minutes in the McDuffie County lockup before posting cash bond and being released. According to cops, the "Rush Hour" star, an Atlanta native, was doing 109 mph on Interstate 20 when pulled over by state troopers. He was arrested for reckless driving and fleeing to elude after he did not pull over right away. Tucker is pictured below in a mug shot snapped Sunday.

That Bentley and surrounding cars are from another Country though? Note the plates...

This is just about the dumbest thing I've seen done in a Bentley since the CL post of the p - - -ed-off guy doing donuts in the dealer parking lot flipping a birdie.....you guys remember that one?

I think I heard last night that his defense was that he was "late for church" . . .

Can I get an "amen"??

I've done about 109 mph before so that's no big deal He should've stopped for the police immediately though, what was he thinking ?

Over 100 mph in most states is considered reckless driving which means it is up to the officer to take you to jail or not.. That's why you will hear alot of people who have been going over 100mph and the cops marks the ticket for the 90's or so...

LexFather

Yup, in GA, that is automatic reckless driving and going to jail.

that is correct, in most states, anythig over 100 they can put you in jail and impound your car, it's up to the officer.

and yeah, i have done 120mph before, 109 isn't really hard or anything wow... but the fact that he didn't stop that's kinda stupid

LOL, driving that slow makes you a criminal

Hey dont you just hate it when they post mug shots and the person actually looks "normal"?? We need more of those Nick Nolte / D'Angelo type "oh my god, he looks like a tornado hit him" type pictures! With this pic you can still see the darn dress shirt and tie on this guy, what is he a saint? LOL

I think if he would have stopped and just explained that he was late for church, he may have gotten off with a lesser fine. Not stopping IMMEDIATELY makes a individual look suspcious (I would imagine the cops think the same)

Hey, I once got pulled over rushing to church. I wasn't stupid enough to use that as an excuse though (even though it's true).

109 mph is pretty slow in any 8-cylinder car. I hit that speed everyday in my SC400.
