He gets arrested as a non-American for not carrying a driver's license, as required under the new anti-illegal immigration law. He's also part of a company, Mercedes-Benz, that has brought a great deal of jobs and wealth to the state:
Tuscaloosa Police Chief Steven Anderson told The Associated Press an officer stopped a rental vehicle for not having a tag Wednesday night and asked the driver for his license. The man only had a German identification card, so he was arrested and taken to police headquarters, Anderson said.
The 46-year-old executive was charged with violating the immigration law for not having proper identification, but he was released after an associate retrieved his passport, visa and German driver's license from the hotel where he was staying, Anderson said.
Hey, Alabama. Terrify all your unskilled workers away, then humiliate all your foreign investors. How's that anti-illegal immigration law working out for ya?
