Where the Heck is Eufaula?


Do you know where Eufaula is? Neither did I, so here’s a map.

Ya, so? Nothing really, just that the Mayor of Eufaula, Robert Dean Smith was recently arrested for allegedly violating his probation stemming from his 2008 DUI. At that time he pled guilty to DUI, having an open booze container in his car and for a traffic violation.

The story is here and here among other places.

The Mayor is also accused of using a city credit card to buy gasoline – felony embezzlement – unrelated to his drinking problem. Or is it?
