Ohio state Rep. Robert Mecklenborg, Republican, was arrested on April 23 for drunk driving in Indiana while driving a car with temporary Kentucky plates. He also had Viagra in his system and, the New York Daily News reports, “was also traveling with a woman who was not his wife, 26 year-old Tiona Roberts.”
He also, the AP points out, had recently “delivered an impassioned floor speech and cast a vote in support of House Bill 125, the so-called “heartbeat bill” that would prohibit abortions once a fetus' heartbeat could be detected, usually six or seven weeks into a pregnancy.” Somehow the arrest of two months ago only surfaced the day after that speech was made.
Well, he’s clearly a busy guy—married, three kids, making bizarre-sounding speeches on behalf of restricting abortion and squiring young ladies half his age around town— who remembers to reveal a little thing like a DUI arrest?
