Arkansas Governor to Pardon His Son

Mike Beebe’s forgives his son’s pot dealing.

Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe said on Wednesday that he will pardon his son for his felony marijuana charge. His son, Kyle, now 34, was charged in 2003 with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. He already served three years of probation, but recently submitted a formal request for pardon. The Arkansas Parole Board recommended Kyle Beebe for pardon on October 20. "I would have done it a long time ago if he'd have asked, but he took his sweet time about asking,” said Beebe. “He was embarrassed. He's still embarrassed, and frankly, I was embarrassed and his mother was embarrassed.”
