Just days after being elected Detroit City Council Pro tem, Councilman George Cushingberry has found himself the center of possibly another city scandal.
The Councilman was let off with a slap on the wrist ticket after an open alcoholic beverage container and marijuana were discovered inside his vehicle.
According to reports by Fox 2 News:
The discovery was made when Cushingberry was pulled over in Detroit on January 7, 2014. An officer saw the open container and marijuana inside Cushingberry’s vehicle.
“A supervisor was contacted who responded to the scene. A decision was made that the council person would be cited and released. That did happen, there was no arrest,” confirms Detroit Police Chief James Craig.
