DC chief: Sheen police escort violated protocol
WASHINGTON
Lanier said Friday in a statement that police officers on escort
duty aren't supposed to activate emergency equipment, such as
lights and sirens, and don't travel into other jurisdictions
without help from other law enforcement agencies. She says the
department is investigating.
Police spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump says Sheen's promotion
company has sent the department a $445 check for the escort.
Sheen posted on Twitter on Tuesday that he had received a
high-speed escort from D.C. police to a performance in downtown
Washington. The escort stretched at least part of the way from
Dulles International Airport in Virginia. He included a picture of
a speedometer reaching about 80 mph.
