Exclusive: Cotton Plant mayor speaks out after DWI arrest
COTTON PLANT (KATV) - The mayor of the small town of Cotton Plant was arrested by Arkansas State Police, Sunday morning for driving while intoxicated. Mayor Ronnie Conley admitted to KATV that this wasn't the first time he's been arrested for DWI.
Conley was brought to the Brinkley City Jail early, Sunday morning, arrested on charges of DWI, DWI refusal, speeding, littering and drinking on the highway. He posted a $1,750 bond just hours later and got his car out of impound at Landon's Towing in Brinkley shortly after.
The vehicle Conley was driving was his city-issued white Crown Victoria with a green-stripe.
"I was taking care of city business as well," said Conley. But when asked if drinking on the job is city business he responded, "Well politicians have a tendency to drink all the time we have business. We have social affairs where we do drink of course."
