Looks like he was driving without a licence, and later got arrested because he didn't show up for the court date regarding the driving without a license

He was arrested on Wednesday in Cape Coral, Florida on a warrant issued in Collier County. The former lawmaker was due to appear in court after he was cited by police in Naples for driving without a license on Aug. 19.

I'm surprised to see it wasn't crimes against children this time.

Wasn't this the guy who tried to deflect by threatening to release a list of every Republican politician that he saw at the coke parties?

It's good to see power face consequences, but let's not pretend like he's got anyone left in his corner to keep him out of trouble.

Was it cocaine party or cocaine orgy?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I don't remember everything anymore. Something about lying about a car accident and then, like, women's underwear (?) and then biting the hand that feeds.
