The Reverend Billy Graham had arrived back home in Charlotte at the Charlotte Douglas International airport.
There, curbside, a long white limousine waited for him.
Dr. Graham greeted the limo driver and admiring the Cadillac he asked the driver if he would mind if he drove the car himself.
Since it was Billy Graham, the driver said of course not he would not mind at all and with that the driver climbed into the backseat and Dr. Graham got in up front and off they went with Dr. Graham driving.
It wasn’t long and they’re going down of all things the Billy Graham Parkway. Unfortunately, the good reverend was driving pretty fast when a CMPD Rookie Officer clocked the Cadillac doing better than 80.
A minute later the Cadillac was pulled over on the side of the road.
The CMPD rookie walked up to the driver‘s window as it rolled down, and he was kind of surprised to see it was none other than the famous preacher Billy Graham.
Dr. Graham handed over his drivers license to the rookie and from the backseat also came the registration and proof of insurance.
The Rookie Officer told Dr. Graham he would be right back and went to his patrol unit. There he called his sergeant on the radio
“Sarg I got a little situation here, now I know you told me don’t cut any slack, everyone gets a ticket, even VIPs, but I don’t know what to do with this one."
The Sargent says “well what’s the problem?”
The Rook radios back “Sarg I think I better let this one go because I think I’ve just pulled over God!”
The sergeant somewhat annoyed says “what in the world makes you think you’ve pulled over God?”
The Rookie Officer responds, "I can’t really say for sure because the windows are all blacked out, but he’s riding in this big white caddy limousine and Billy Graham is driving, who else would it be?"
