NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - State Rep. Curry Todd's arraignment on drunken driving and weapons charges has been delayed until next week.
The Collierville Republican
was arrested in October after failing a roadside sobriety test. A
loaded .38-caliber gun was found stuffed in a holster between the
driver's seat and center console.
Todd was scheduled to be
arraigned Friday on charges of drunken driving, possession of a firearm
while under the influence and violating the state's implied consent law
for refusing a breath alcohol test. But the hearing was delayed until
Sept. 14.
Todd was a main sponsor of a
state law allowing handgun carry permit holders to bring weapons into
bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. It's unclear where Todd was
traveling from at the time of his arrest.
