In the ongoing saga of drama surrounding the Clintons, Bill’s brother Roger was arrested for drunk driving in Southern California — one day before Hillary runs in that state’s primary.

After being stopped by authorities in Redondo Beach, Roger Clinton reportedly refused to allow authorities to test his blood alcohol content, and remains behind bars with a bail set for $15,000.
