Embattled Rep. David Stringer has resigned his legislative office, the House of Representatives announced late Wednesday afternoon.
Stringer was facing an Ethics Committee investigation into two complaints filed against him this year. One related to his arrest in 1983 on sex crime charges in Baltimore, the other also included several racist remarks Stringer had made in public.
House Speaker Rusty Bowers said in a written statement that he was glad Stringer, a Republican from Prescott, resigned.
“I’m grateful that the House will not be forced to take action against one of our members, and we can begin to put this matter behind us,” he said.
