Ohio Rep Arrested for DUI With Young Woman Who's Not His Wife in Car
POSTED BY VINCE GRZEGOREK ON THU, JUN 30, 2011 AT 1:48 PM


So what is Ohio state Rep. Bob Mecklenborg (R-Green Township) up to when he’s not busy advocating government intrusion into the sex lives of Ohio’s women and suggesting that pro-choice advocates share ideals with Nazi Germany’s Third Reich? The Cincinnati-area attorney, husband and father of three is a staunch “family-values” conservative, so you probably know exactly where this is leading.

Mecklenborg wasn’t home holding hands with his wife while watching the History Channel in the wee hours of April 23. Rather, he was in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, a town of 5,000 about 15 minutes drive from Cincinnati, primarily notable as the home of the Hollywood Casino, and … well, let’s have Cincinnati’s WMWT describe the scene:

WLWT has learned that state Rep. Robert Mecklenborg, 59, was arrested on April 23 in Dearborn County, Ind. According to the police report, Mecklenborg was pulled over — in a car with Kentucky license plates — at 2:47 a.m. on U.S. 50 east of Lorey Lane. Mecklenborg was pulled over for a non-functioning headlight, but the arresting officer wrote in the report that he had reason to believe Mecklenborg was intoxicated. The officer described an odor of alcohol and wrote that Mecklenborg had glossy, bloodshot eyes.
Cincinnati.com adds, “The trooper asked him to take a breathalyzer test, but Mecklenborg allegedly refused. McCreary said he failed three field sobriety tests and had poor balance, so McCreary put Mecklenborg under arrest.”

Ohio political blog Plunderbund.com got a hold of Mecklenborg’s arrest record and added more details: a blood test showed Mecklenborg had Viagra in his system, and he was accompanied by 26-year-old Tiona Roberts, who is not his wife. The blog believes Ms. Roberts has connections with Concepts strip club, a few minutes’ drive from where Mecklenborg was stopped.

1. Shocking.

Just shocking.

As usual.

[HelenWheels]

4. What kind of cat is this?

My cat looks exactly like this one. I got him last month from a shelter.

[EOTE]

5. Perhaps a Russian Blue?

My sister has one, it looks quite a bit like this one.

[kestrel91316]

7. It is likely a gray colored domestic shorthair ("mutt", the best kind of kitteh).

Some might call it a "Russian blue", but that is unlikely. Stray purebreds other than the very popular Siamese and Persians are rare.

[LeftinOH]

2. Just a youthful indiscretion- let's look past this lad's shortcomings and focus on the big picture..

:rofl: :sarcasm:

[MineralMan]

3. Well, now...that's a bit of an embarrassment for him.

I imagine his wife will have some words to share with him. Oopsie...

[seabeyond]

6. pop some viagra, hire a hooker and ready to go. lovely. nt

[jorno67]

8. but did he text her a picture of his junk?

because that would be bad(er):evilgrin:

[seabeyond]

9. wanna bet he resigns? nt

[xphile]

17. I'm sure he won't.

IOKIYAR

[madinmaryland]

10. Nothing to see. Move along everyone. IOKIYAR.

[madinmaryland]

11. Oops. Found a mug shot...

[LadyHawkAZ]

12. Wonder if we're gonna see 1,000,000 threads on it

like we did with Weiner...

No, of course not. How silly of me.

[JI7]

13. any statement yet about how God forgave him or some shit like that

[The Wizard]

14. It would be really amusing if he was caught

with a sheep in panty hose.

[Bluenorthwest]

15. This would be a good time to hear about the holy sanctity of

marriage for one man and one woman, but that only comes up when teh gay is involved. No one will clutch pearls and speak of God in the mix, of their devout Christian faith teaching that such things are wrong, no one will make a speech, no hate preacher will declare war no him or call him a vampire, Michelle Bachmann's husband will not call the drunken adulterer a barbarian, and so on. Sure, they all care so much for the Holy Sacrament! Which is of course a thing reserved for straights alone to sully and treat with great disrespect, as God intended.

[The Wizard]

16. I anxiously await

the pictures of him getting intimate with a farm animal.

18. From one triumph to another. Here's his record for political work last May:

Ohio House passes election reforms

Democrats call bill an attempt to hinder their voters

OHIO HOUSE
Reps. Kathleen Clyde, D-Kent, and
Robert Mecklenborg, R-Cincinnati

Elections officials could no longer send absentee ballot applications to all Franklin County voters, and the time for in-person early voting would be significantly reduced under an elections overhaul bill that passed the House today along party lines. The sweeping bill, which also would attempt to lessen the need to cast provisional ballots, allows election boards to save money through bulk purchasing, and would let voters update registrations online -- a "significant move in the right direction to unify our electoral process in the state of Ohio," said Rep. Robert Mecklenborg, R-Cincinnati.

Different county election boards should not apply different standards in the election process, Mecklenborg said, noting the disparities cause "lawsuits, uncertainty and a lack of voter confidence in the system." Meanwhile, Rep. Kathleen Clyde, D-Kent, summed up the feelings of a number of Democrats: "Let's call this bill what it really is -- voter suppression."

~snip~
William Anthony Jr., director of the Franklin County Board of Elections, said he is particularly concerned that the bill would no longer allow Franklin, Cuyahoga and certain other counties to mail absentee-ballot applications to every active voter, and provide return postage to send back the completed ballots.

~snip~
Anthony said the problem is compounded by the bill shortening the current 35-day early voting period to 21 days by mail, and to 10 days prior to the election in person. However, because no in-person voting is allowed on Sunday or on the Saturday or Monday prior to the election, it leaves six in-person days to vote.

~snip~
Democrats criticized the shorter early voting period, changes that would toss out votes when a person mistakenly fills in the bubble and also writes the candidate's name on the write-in line, and the elimination of a requirement that an election official direct a voter to the correct precinct.

~snip~
Mecklenborg, a sponsor of House Bill 194, said that under the bill "there is no reason there shouldn't be 100 percent (voter) participation ... We have made it so easy to vote," he said. "Here we are nitpicking over things under the false guise of disenfranchisement and suppression."
