Roger Clinton has been arrested in Southern California for driving under the influence, according to a new report.
Clinton, former President Bill Clinton’s brother and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton’s brother-in-law, was arrested late Sunday, according to TMZ, two days before California’s critical primary.
{mosads}Law enforcement sources told TMZ Roger Clinton was booked for DUI just after 8 p.m. in Redondo Beach, Calif. He reportedly refused blood alcohol testing and currently remains in police custody with his bail set at $15,000.
TMZ on Monday reported that it is unclear whether Roger Clinton, who was also arrested for DUI in 2001, would be able to vote in Tuesday’s primary.
Just before leaving office in January 2001, Bill Clinton pardoned Roger Clinton, who was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty in 1985 to conspiring to distribute cocaine.
Roger Clinton’s latest arrest comes as Hillary Clinton faces a heated battle with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in California.
Hillary Clinton leads Sanders by 2 percentage points in the Golden State, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.
Her national lead over Sanders is nearly 11 points.
