WASHINGTON — District of Columbia authorities are investigating how Charlie Sheen won a high-speed police escort on his way to a show in downtown Washington this week.
Sheen posted a photo on his Twitter account Tuesday night showing a police car ahead of him with emergency lights flashing as he was escorted at least part of the way from Dulles International Airport to his stage show.
Sheen included a picture of a speedometer reaching about 80 mph and a message that read: “In car with Police escort in front and rear! Driving like someone’s about to deliver a baby!”
D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said in a statement Friday that the escort, conducted by the department’s Special Operations Division, appeared to violate police protocol in multiple ways and was being investigated by internal affairs.
She said escorts are generally reserved for the president, vice president and visiting heads of state. The Associated Press
