Michael McLendon was pulled over by deputies near Foley, Alabama on June 5 after dispatchers received a call about a reckless driver on Highway 98. McLendon was arrested without incident after being tested at the scene. He was charged with DUI combined with substance.
“That means alcohol combined with another substance,” said Baldwin County Chief Deputy Anthony Lowery, according to Mississippi Today. “We are not alleging what that substance is at this point, and that does not necessarily mean anything nefarious—it can be cold medicine.” The 59-year-old Republican was later released on a $2,500 bond.
