He was released Monday after posting a $5,000 bond.
When asked about the arrest, Gov. Hutchinson said, "Those are the days that it’s tough to be a parent and it’s tough to be a son, and I think every parent and every son would identify and understand that problem. My son’s an adult, and he’ll have to address this just like he has had to address other things in the past."
