(FUQUAY-VARINA) -- The News and Observer of Raleigh reports that the younger brother of Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards is wanted in Colorado for failing to appear on a drunken-driving charge from 1994.

State records in Colorado show that Wesley Blake Edwards was supposed to report to court in January 1994. When he didn't, a warrant was issued for his arrest.

The newspaper reports that Wesley Blake Edwards, a union electrician who lives in Fuquay-Varina, was charged with driving under the influence, careless driving and operating a vehicle without insurance.

State Division of Motor Vehicle records show that, after misdemeanor drunken-driving convictions in 1985, 1987 and 1990, his driver license was permanently revoked in 1990. Records show he spent a week in jail on one of the convictions.

Wesley Blake Edwards has been cited for driving without a license at least twice since, most recently in Fuquay-Varina in August. He pleaded guilty and paid a $100 fine.

Wonder if Edawards will hustle his brother out of the country until the election is over like the Bushes did with George's brother. It's a good strategy.

I have a black sheep brother so I cannot enter this fray.

That's probably what my brother says about me. I hope he doesn't decide to run for office. They'd have a field day with me. LOL
