Hartselle's Mayor can't drive soon

HARTSELLE, Ala. (AP) — The mayor of a north Alabama city is preparing for life without a license after being arrested on a DUI charge. The Decatur Daily reports a judge issued a temporary license for Hartselle Mayor Don Hall that is set to expire on Oct. 20 and his license will be suspended for 90 days after that. Hall was stopped on Sept. 5 and was arrested for DUI after refusing to submit to a breathalyzer test. After his arrest, Hall took a two-week leave of absence and said during a meeting of department heads earlier this week that he took the time to seek professional help. Hall also issued a public apology to city council members and Hartselle residents.
