Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States, was the first president to be arrested in 1872 for speeding in his horse and buggy. He was stopped by a Black police officer, William H. West, who gave him a warning the first time but arrested him the second time. Grant was released on a $20 bond. This happened more than 150 years before former President Donald Trump was arrested.
