Mr. Medlock Goes To Washington.

by Little Miss Attila on February 4, 2010

Jim Treacher got hit by a State Department vehicle as he was crossing the street yesterday, and it appears as if the D.C. cops are being shanghaid into a mini-whitewash about the accident. Jim, whose real name is Sean Medlock, was cited for “jaywalking” while still getting emergency care at the hospital.

That would be the new D.C. kind of jaywalking—the kind that one commits by using a crosswalk.

The State Department has refused to answer basic questions about an accident that took place in Washington on Wednesday night, in which a U.S. Diplomatic Security Service vehicle struck Daily Caller employee Sean Medlock as he was crossing the street.

An agent in the vehicle, Mike McGuinn, did not identify himself to Medlock at the scene, or apologize for running him down. Indeed, Washington, D.C., police drove to a local emergency room to serve Medlock with a jaywalking citation as he lay prostrate in a hospital bed, while a man who identified himself as “special agent” stood by watching and taking notes.

UPDATE: Ed Morrissey has more.
