Pelican Bay councilwoman contends arrest politically motivated
A member of the Pelican Bay City Council who is a constant critic of how the city is managed was arrested last week after attending a budget meeting where she raised questions about the city's precarious financial condition.
Robin Finstad was arrested Wednesday night on charges of driving with a suspended license and attempting to flee police. She was taken into custody, but before her transfer to the jail in Blue Mound she complained of chest pains and was taken to an Azle hospital.
She was subsequently released without bond.
Finstad contends that her arrest is politically motivated because of questions she has raised about finances in the city, which is near Eagle Mountain Lake.
