Gov. Mike Beebe says he will pardon his son, Kyle, for a felony crime from his past.
Kyle Beebe, now 34, was charged in 2003 with possession of a controlled substance, marijuana, with intent to deliver, a class C felony.
Beebe says his son has grown up a lot since that time.
“Kids when they’re young do stupid stuff. He was no different. Liked to have broken his mother’s heart. His mother and I were stereotypical parents from the different end of the spectrum. She was the enabler that tried to fix everything. I was the nuclear bomb thrower that thought you ought to shoot him. Somewhere between those two extremes was probably the right thing to do,” Beebe said.
