If you’re one of those who stays glued to the Washington County Detention Center’s online intake report, you probably already know that former Green Party candidate Abel Tomlinson, who ran for Congress against John Boozman in 2008, was arrested Monday night for possession of a controlled substance.
Tomlinson, 29, of Fayetteville is currently out on a $3,500 bond.

Tomlinson is a former senator in the UA’s Associated Student Government and was arrested in 2006 after protesting an on-campus speech by Gary “Moses” Bowman.
