Information About

Roger Clinton, Jr.




As a child Bill often had to protect Roger from his periodically alcoholic and abusive father. During the 1970s Roger too became an alcoholic. He became a musician and formed a rock band, which Bill Clinton described as talented in his autobiography. When Bill was already governor, Roger was arrested for amongst the List Of Pardons issued on January 19 , 2001 .

Roger continued to spark controversy, however. It was discovered that he worked to broker pardons for others, and on February 17 , 2001 he was arrested and charged with two counts of drunken driving and one for disturbing the peace. In a deal that spared him jail time, Roger Clinton pleaded guilty to a non-alcohol-related charge of reckless driving.
