From Mainichi:

Koichi Toyama, a controversial candidate in the April gubernatorial election in Tokyo, has been arrested for traffic violations, police said.

Toyama, 36, was arrested for violating the Road Traffic Law on Tuesday after he denied the allegations and rejected repeated orders to turn himself in to a local police station.

On Jan. 17, 2006, Toyama was caught riding a motorcycle in the wrong direction on a one-way municipal road in Kagoshima. On July 10, last year, he was also riding a motorcycle at 50 kilometers per hour, 20 kilometers per hour in excess of the speed limit, police said.

Officers issued traffic violation tickets at the scenes, but he denied the allegations. He also refused to pay the fines.

I knew they’d get their revenge. He’s only questioning authority, leave the guy alone.
