Scofflaw "Joe" the "Plumber" gets warning, not speeding ticket: "Would reflect negatively on P.D."

[Bluebear]

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Police stopped "Joe the Plumber" for speeding last week but didn't issue a ticket out of concern it would reflect negatively on the Toledo department, an officer's report said.

Officers tracked Samuel J. Wurzelbacher driving about 50 mph in a 35 mph zone in his Dodge Durango SUV on Wednesday, the police report said...

Wurzelbacher was given a verbal warning because of that ongoing investigation and because a citation could have "negative repercussions to the department and city as a whole," according to the report, which lists "Patrolman Bailey" as its author.

Wurzelbacher would not comment on the traffic stop when reached by telephone Monday evening.
