Michigan man arrested on trip to 'meet Beyonce'

MILFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut police say a Detroit-area man was arrested after driving erratically and nearly hitting a police car, saying Beyonce was waiting to meet him.

Officers say 33-year-old Robert Williams Jr. of Macomb Township, Mich., was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

Police say he nearly hit a police car early Sunday, asked the officer for directions to Detroit, then drove over a sidewalk and grassy area.

A police spokesman says Williams -- who had flowers and teddy bear in the car -- also asked if the officers were escorting him to New York City, saying the singer agreed to meet him at the George Washington Bridge.

Williams was charged with reckless driving, speeding and other traffic offenses. He is scheduled to appear Nov. 4 in Milford Superior Court.
