Roger Clinton, half-brother of former President Bill Clinton, has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence near Los Angles, US media reported today, a day ahead of the high-stakes Democratic primary in California.
Clinton, 59, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) around 8:00 p.M. On Sunday in Redondo Beach, CBS Los Angeles quoted police as saying.
Clinton is being held in lieu of USD 15,000.
Driving under the influence (DUI), or Driving while intoxicated (DWI), is the crime of driving a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or other drugs.
Clinton's arrest occurred two days ahead of the California primary election in the 2016 presidential race. The polls have both former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in a dead heat there.
His brother, Bill, visited the Southland over the weekend to campaign on behalf of his wife, Hillary.
Roger Clinton is Bill's half-brother, and has a well- documented history of trouble with substance abuse and causing political trouble for his famous sibling, the report said.
Then-President Bill Clinton famously pardoned Roger Clinton for his 1985 conviction over cocaine possession. Roger Clinton has also been arrested for DUI previously, it said.
