Radford, Virginia -- The cops saw something fishy going on and pulled over a vehicle less than 24 hours before Election Day. A deputy witnessed a woman pulling out campaign signs Monday evening and getting into a car that was being driven by party Delegate Chris Hurst.
The signs were on display in front of the city recreation center that the woman was surreptitiously removing, according to Radford Sheriff Mark Armentrout. [H/T Fox News]
But the kicker was that Hurst, a Democratic Delegate, was driving the car with a suspended license and was given a "driving while suspended notification" by a deputy, local outlets report.
Hurst was pulled over last year in Christiansburg for swerving his car, and he blew a 0.085 percent on a blood-alcohol test, above the legal limit.
Despite stinking of alcohol and struggling with a "walk and turn" test, he passed other field tests and was told to let his girlfriend drive home, according to The Roanoke Times.

"Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?"
The current incident comes as the country watches the Virginia gubernatorial elections unfold Tuesday when former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe faces off against Republican challenger Glenn Youngkin.

Armentrout directed Fox News to the Radford Police Department for information regarding why Hurst’s license was suspended. That department said the matter has now been transferred to the Virginia State Police.
Radford City Police also confirmed that there was damage made to several of the political signs.
After getting pulled over, a deputy asked the female passenger, Emily Frentress, to return the signs and she complied without providing why she took them and why does she believe that parents have no say in their kids' education.
Hurst, for his part, was first elected as delegate in 2018 and is currently running as an incumbent against Republican challenger, Jason Ballard who said a lot of political things about Hurst and yadda, yadda.
Hurst’s office did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment about his underhanded, low-life, cowardly behavior as to why he was driving with a suspended license, having his passenger pull up signs belonging to the opposing party, and what does his mother think of his behavior.
He represents the 12th District of Virginia, which includes Radford and Giles County, as well as other areas containing enough low-information voters to make this ginger their delegate.
