CRAWFORD -- 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.

filled with bush operatives who get to wipe bush's ass and polish the silver platter upon which he serves blood to the american public.

If she can find another person that had a ticket that was not paid, and they were not treated the same way, she should sue their asses. Just my opinion.

Cops arrested her husband too.

I know people in the same situation who have been booked and/or had their licenses suspended. It could have been worse.

down than it did the cost of the ticket... Can you say fishy????

with her high profile why the hell didn't she pay the parking ticket in the first place? I do understand that she was preoccupied with her surgery, but doesn't she have friends to help her out with such things? And the other question is, why did she have to appear in court for this ticket? Can't one just mail in the payment? Maybe Tex-ass has different rules?
