Residents in Prescott seem divided over calls for controversial State Rep. David Stringer to quit
PRESCOTT, Ariz. (FOX 10) -- State Rep. David Stringer, a Prescott-area Republican whose remarks on minority students in public schools and African American immigrants have sparked allegations of racial insensitivity, still faces calls for him to resign.
The calls for State Rep. Stringer to resign became even higher, when reports emerge he was charged with sex offenses in Maryland in 1983. The charges were reported on by the Phoenix New Times, based on a copy of the case history the newspaper obtained from the Circuit Court for Baltimore City in Maryland. Stringer's record was expunged, and a court official told the New Times the records should not have been released.
The embattled GOP lawmaker, however, refuses to step down. FOX 10's Matt Rodewald reports.
