Quote of the Day

Pimps are known for their elegant, inconspicuous style so you might find it hard to believe how this guy, jailed for driving with a suspended license after his 13th charge, got recognized driving so quickly.

Decked out in a purple suit coat and purple shoes, David B. Johnson appeared before a judge in the Markham courthouse last month on his 13th charge of driving on a suspended license.

At that Jan. 23 hearing, Judge Christopher Donnelly sentenced Johnson to 10 days in jail beginning Feb. 6. The judge also sternly warned him not to drive his car before then.

Johnson donned his purple fedora and full-length fur coat and walked out of the courthouse to his purple 1988 Cadillac. The dashboard of the immaculate four-door sedan had a placard that said “PIMP PLAZA” and the rear spare-tire cover was stenciled “Mister Oldskool.”

Then he drove away — with a bevy of female onlookers hooting and hollering to him, said Steve Patterson, a spokesman for Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart. When Johnson pulled onto a street outside the Markham courthouse, Cook County Sheriff’s Deputy Frank Czerwinski stopped Johnson’s car and arrested him.

Donnelly was not happy to see Johnson back in his courtroom.

“It took you exactly 22 minutes to violate my order,” he growled.
