Northwest Arkansas Congressman’s son arrested

(AP) — An Arkansas congressman’s son with a history of drug arrests and convictions remained jailed after his arrest on a methamphetamine possession charge, officials said.

Police accompanied a probation officer to James Womack’s home in Rogers for a Wednesday home visit, according to an arrest affidavit. 

They found the 34-year-old son of Republican Rep. Steve Womack sitting on a zipper-style eyeglass case.

When the case was opened, inside were found several syringes, a small glass vile containing what tested positive for meth and an empty plastic bag containing a residue that tested positive for meth, the affidavit stated.

He remained in the Benton County Jail with bond set at $20,000. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney to speak on his behalf.
