The Time a U.S. President Was Arrested Did you know a sitting U.S. president was once arrested? In 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant was stopped by a Washington, D.C. police officer—for speeding in his horse-drawn carriage! Officer William West, a Black Civil War veteran, had already warned Grant once. The second time, he arrested the president and confiscated his horse and buggy. Grant apologized, paid a $20 fine, and walked back to the White House. Imagine if a president got pulled over today—what do you think would happen?
