Emmanuel Lewis, the former child star of the ’80s TV series “Webster,” got off with a warning for speeding after giving his autograph and posing for a photo with police, officials said.
Officer Ron Kirk said he stopped a vehicle Tuesday afternoon in rural southwestern Georgia that had been traveling 70 mph in a 45-mph zone. Kirk immediately recognized Lewis.
“Well, I grew up watching him and he was very nice and professional, so I just gave him a courtesy warning,” Kirk told Albany TV station WALB.
The officer asked for his autograph, and Lewis, 34, agreed to pose for a picture with Kirk and the town’s police chief, Randy Howard Jr.
