Senator RC Soles was arrested in July of 1971 for running from the police. He was said to have been driving at speeds of over 115 mph in a 45 mile and hour zone, the chase went for 10 miles.
The word on the street is that Soles did not stop because he was dressed as a woman and had picked up a soldier along Hay Street. Tony Rand represented Soles in court as did Congressman Charlie Rose.
I have no idea if the drag story is true, but it's been around for years and years as has the one about stabbing Jim Burns of WECT.
