BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- Authorities said Kathryn Weldon made it clear to Brevard County deputies when they were arresting her that she was the daughter of a congressman and would have lawyers waiting at the jail.
But deputies said she didn't get any special treatment. Weldon, 21, was booked, put in jailhouse clothing and sat in the Brevard County jail for more than three hours waiting to get bailed out.
The oldest child of republican Congressman Dave Weldon is accused of taking off a high heel shoe and hitting a security guard at the County Line Saloon across the face with it.

Congressman Dave Weldon, MD (R-15) announced he will retire from Congress. He plans to return to private practice and wants to spend more time with his family.
There is a scramble to see who will run for the Republicans to fill the seat. Weldon already had Democrat opposition from another space coast MD.
No matter who fills the seat, the space coast has lost seniority at a time of great concern about the gap that follows the retirement of the space shuttle.

Don't you know who I am? (smack)
Sure looks like this is “half the story”.
It is not her first brush with the law but yeah, we need to hear it all.
Pretty girl....
Looks like that chick from The Facts of Life, and I don’t mean tootie. :)
Sure hate to hear that we’re losing that guy! He’s been rock solid.
Spoiled brat.
It must be particularly difficult to be both attractive and kind. ...attractive and humble. ...attractive and hard-working.
I have seen far too many attractive people who successfully use their looks for advantage, and let what's real kinda slide.
"After talking with her we feel quite certain she did nothing to merit her arrest and believe this will be collaborated by others," Congressman Weldon wrote.In the meantime, his 8th grade English teacher is planning to send the congressman a dictionary so that he can learn the difference between collaborated and corroborated.
There is more info available in the local newspaper which doesn't allow us to link. It isn't FloridaYesterday.com or FloridaTomorrow.com but Florida_____.com. This will hit the Orlando papers too.
That makes 2 “R” retirements in what? 2 or 3 days? The pace picks up...
Never underestimate the power of a spell-checker or auto correction word processor to introduce a type of that nature, though. I suspect Congressman Dave had a lot on his mind today so he deserves a little slack if his proof-reading isn't up to snuff.
see ... I swear I typed “typo” and not “type”
Why do I have the sneaky suspicion that if he was a Democrat, the paper would have left that detail out?
The County Line Saloon - I used to drive by that place! It’s in a strip mall off US1 in southern Brevard County. It’s a C&W bar ... not my style ;-)
More likely it's the writer who doesn't know the difference.

Sounds like just a good ole time at the County Line Saloon.
