Rhode Island House Minority Leader Arrested For DUI and Pot


There are 3,428 people in Rhode Island who may legally use medical marijuana under the state’s medical-marijuana program. Rhode Island House Minority Leader, Robert W. A Watson, is not one of them. That’s a problem, because he was arrested last week on suspicion of DUI and for having a baggie of pot in his car. The story is here.
