Motion to drop Ben Reynold’s public intoxication charge
) - A Mobile City councilman faced some heat last month after he was arrested for public intoxication during July 4th weekend. Now, Baldwin County District Attorney’s Office has filed a motion to dismiss it.
District 4′s Ben Reynolds was a passenger on a boat stopped in Orange Beach by a state trooper on July 2. When the trooper tried giving a sobriety test to the driver, Reynolds interrupted and argued, even after being told to stop. That’s when the trooper put him in cuffs and sent him to the Baldwin County Jail with a public intoxication charge in tow, all according to court documents. Reynolds then posted a $100 bond and was released.
According to court documents, a motion was filed Friday to dismiss the charge. The judge has not issued a ruling. Reynolds is set to appear in court next week and still continues to serve as District 4′s councilman.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
