Hughes admits arrest in Florida linked to 1954 DWI charge
Iowa Governor Harold Hughes disclosed to a Des Moines luncheon that he was arrested in Florida and forfeited a $100 bond in early 1954 for driving while under the influence. He said the incident involved a Florida charge later noted on his chauffeur license and noted he has since remained teetotal, joining Alcoholics Anonymous. Republican rival Hultman blasted the disclosure as a political weapon, while Hughes defended it as an old issue and affirmed his ongoing sobriety and cooperation with authorities.
