GEORGETOWN, Texas (AP) -- A Texas mayor can't set foot in the small city he leads until a criminal case against him is over, but he still plans on running it.
Bartlett Mayor Bobby Hill, 61, was arrested last week and accused of stealing money and services from his 1,500-person city, about 53 miles northeast of Austin. State District Judge Ken Anderson ruled Monday that until the case is over, Hill must live outside city limits.
''He can do the job as mayor from wherever he's at,'' said his attorney, Marc Ranc.
Note that the "at" in the last sentence is redundant. Details here from the AP via the New York Times.
