Arkansas governor’s son’s DWI conviction overturned

(AP) _ The drunken driving conviction of the son of
Arkansas’ governor has been overturned because of a problem with the ticket.The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/2uSUVRK ) that a
Washington County judge dismissed charges a William Asa Hutchinson III on
Monday.

The younger Hutchinson was arrested Jan. 24, 2016, on charges of DWI, careless driving and refusing to submit to a chemical test. He was convicted in November and was appealing.

The ticket issued by state police said conditions were “daylight” when
Hutchinson crashed at 2:55 a.m. The trooper later voided the ticket to indicate it was “dark” at the time.

Hutchinson’s attorney argued that Hutchinson never received the second ticket and the statute of limitations on the charge has expired.
