Beyonce lover runs afoul of law
MILFORD -- A Michigan man who allegedly told police he was on his way to New York for a romantic rendezvous with pop superstar Beyonce Knowles was arrested Sunday after he nearly hit a police car and sped off when ordered to stop, police said.
Robert Williams Jr., 33, of Macomb Township, Mich., drove into a parking lot off Boston Post Road "in a reckless manner" about 1:20 a.m., nearly hit the police car parked there and asked the officer for directions to Detroit, said Officer Vaughan Dumas, police spokesman.
When the officer asked him to turn off his engine and get out of the car, Williams fled, driving over a grassy area, sidewalk and curb, Dumas said.
After the officer activated his cruiser lights and siren to pull Williams over, the suspect allegedly asked if he was getting a police escort.
Williams told the officer that a teddy bear and flowers in his car were for Beyonce, who he planned to meet at the George Washington Bridge in New York City, according to Dumas.
Williams then took off again, meandering along local streets at 20 to 30 mph as police monitored him without a chase.
He was arrested and charged with reckless driving, speeding, interfering with an officer, failure to obey an officer's signal and failure to obey a stop sign.
It is believed that Williams was on drugs or alcohol at the time, Dumas said.
He was released on $5,000 non-surety bond to go to Milford Hospital for evaluation, where he had to be restrained, according to Dumas.
He is scheduled to appear Nov. 4 in Milford Superior Court.
