The people of Widener must be very forgiving people because Mayor Abron Pitts has been arrested again for driving while intoxicated.
According to the Times-Herald Pitts was arrested Friday night by an Arkansas State Police Trooper, just a little over a year since his last arrest on the same charge.
According to an arrest report on file at the St. Francis County Sheriff’s Department, Pitts, 64, was arrested about 10 p.m. Friday at his home in Widener after the trooper saw him drive off the south shoulder of Highway 38.
The trooper said Pitts refused to stop his 1994 Chevrolet pickup until he arrived at his home on Main Street. Once there, the trooper said Pitts “jumped out of the truck and almost fell.” The trooper said at Pitts’ home, several dogs surrounded his patrol car. Well, at least he still has the canine support.
