Court Rules in Favor of Man Who Said He Was Arrested for ‘Driving While Black’: Cops Acted with ‘Arbitrary and Boundless’ Prejudgment Elura Nanos © Provided by Law & Crime The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit sided with a Black man and against two Virginia cops Thursday in what the plaintiff argued had been a “driving while Black” arrest. George Wingate III had been driving on Jefferson Davis Highway in April 2017 when he experienced car trouble. Wingate is a mechanic who kept tools in the trunk of his car; he pulled to the side of the road, popped the hood, and began to work on his car, using the overhead streetlamp for lighting. Two Stafford County deputies saw Wingate’s disabled vehicle, and pulled in behind Wingate, ostensibly to render assistance.
