what was ulysses grant arrested for

Ulysses S. Grant was arrested for speeding in his horse-drawn carriage in Washington, D.C. The arrest occurred in 1872 when Grant was serving as the president of the United States. He was caught speeding by Officer William H. West, who gave him a warning the first time and arrested him the second time when Grant was racing his buggy on the street. Grant paid a $20 bond but forfeited it by not appearing in court. This incident marks Grant as the only U.S. president known to have been arrested while in office.
