Hillary Clinton’s brother-in-law arrested from jail after 'erratic' driving

Hillary Clinton’s brother-in-law, Roger, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Redondo Beach on Sunday night, police said.

Roger Cassidy Clinton was arrested ay about 8.05pm, according to police. He was released on US$15,000 bond late Monday morning.

His arrest was prompted by a 7.20pm call from a motorist who reported a driver headed southbound on Pacific Coast Highway who was possibly drunk and was driving in “an erratic manner”, police said.

“The report was he was driving erratically, violating multiple” traffic laws, said Redondo Beach police Lt Joe Hoffman. The caller followed the car until police caught up. Officers also witnessed the car driving erratically, Hoffman said.

There were three other people in the car with Clinton, police said. They were released and caught a taxi, according to Hoffman.

Officers gave Clinton a series of field sobriety exams, Hoffman said. In Redondo Beach, the exam typically involves walking a straight line and turning around, standing on one leg, the horizontal gaze nystagmus test – in which an officer observes whether the eyes move smoothly as they track an object side to side – and the Rhomberg balance test in which a person stands with their feet together and eyes closed and attempts to touch their nose.
