Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard (R ) ^ was arrested on Monday and charged with 23 felony ethics charges.
Hubbard, who chaired the Alabama Republican Party from 2007 to 2011, faces charges that include using his office for personal gain and voting for legislation with a conflict of interest, Al.com reported.
Hubbard has claimed that he did nothing wrong and called the investigation a witch hunt, according to the AP (HOTD: that seems to be the go-to public response for politicians charged with criminal conduct these days).
Hubbard's indictment is reportedly part of an ongoing public corruption investigation in the state.
