Secret Service Agent Arrested In Waco

Evidently, this government employee thinks he can act like Georgie, and obey only the laws he wants to obey. At a bar & grill in downtown Waco early friday morning, Secret Service agent John Scott Lewis was being rude to the other customers. Finally, the manager asked him to leave. Scott refused, and began to argue with the manager. It looked to other employees like Lewis was trying to pick a fight with the manager, so they called upon a couple of Waco officers moonlighting nearby.

When the officers arrived at the bar, they also thought Lewis was trying to pick a fight, and finally talked him into leaving. But as he was leaving, he hit the door so hard he damaged it. The Waco officers then tried to arrest Lewis, but he began fighting and ignoring their verbal commands. They finally had to Taser him to get him under control and arrest him.

Lewis was booked into the McLennan County Jail on three charges - public intoxication, resisting arrest, and reckless damage to property. He was released later on $1000 bond. Mark Lowery, in charge of the Dallas office [which oversees Waco], would not comment on the charges, but verified Lewis' employment with the agency. Lowery said, "Generally speaking, we want to emphasize that we take such situations very seriously and it will be investigated."

This is the kind of thing that happens with a lack of leadership, and Georgie has been a really poor leader. He has ignored laws and he has broken laws. In general, he has given the impression that officials can make their own rules. It is only natural that other government employees might start to think they are also immune to the legal system.
