From Jalopnik (http://jalopnik.com/5899369/how-is-...d-son-in-a-wrecked-corvette-still-in-office):
Here is his mugshot:
What a tale. I find it strange enough that this guy was elected to the City Council at age 19, but even stranger that he is apparently sufficiently shameless to continue to run for office despite these charges (then again, a man who was anything but shameless would presumably not leave his bleeding four-year-old in a wrecked car while fleeing on foot to avoid DUI charges).
On his website, at http://www.jessejameswhite.com/, Mr. White bills himself as follows: "Independent Conservative-I'm sticking to my guns for less taxes, less government, personal responsibility, and your Second Amendment right to keep your guns too." I think he might want to pull the "personal responsibility" language.
Apparently he has skipped a number of City Council meetings since his arrest, claiming that he was in rehab, but has been seen in town during the same interval - it was when his attorney was confronted with this apparent contradiction that he said it was none of the media's business. By city ordinance, the Council can vote to bounce him if he fails to arrive for meetings for 60 days, but something tells me he will magically appear on, say, day 55, refreshed and renewed.
