Police tracked down war protester Cindy Sheehan at a vigil near President Bush's ranch for failing to pay a traffic ticket. Officers from the Waco suburb of Woodway went to a roadblock near the ranch Tuesday night where Sheehan and other war protesters had gathered, said Sheehan's spokeswoman Tiffany Burns.A Woodway police spokeswoman said the officers told Sheehan there were two outstanding warrants for her arrest, one for an unpaid traffic ticket and the other for failure to appear in court. Sheehan was allowed to follow the officers to the station in her own vehicle, police said. Burns said Sheehan paid the ticket and other fines totaling $400 and left. She was not handcuffed, fingerprinted or booked, Burns said.
In July, Sheehan was pulled over and cited for following too closely and later for failure to appear in court over the ticket, police said. Burns said Sheehan had made arrangements weeks ago to pay the ticket but that it was forgotten because of other concerns, including Sheehan's hospitalization and hysterectomy surgery.
