A mayor in Alton IL pleaded with residents to follow the state issued stay at home protocol.
When it was reported that people were still going out and defying the order he ordered the police to start handing out citations and arrests for people who were not at home.

Well guess who ol’ johnny law found at a local bar…
No other than Mrs. Mayor’s wife herself.
Not a great look I would say. He was informed that his wife was found breaking the order so he told them to treat her like they would any other citizen. Which is a misdemeanor charge that could lead up to 364 days in jail and/or a $2,500 fine… and I imagine an awkward conversation when she got back home.
The mayor apologized and said he was embarrassed by the whole incident, which can be chalked up as one huge YIKES!
