A former small-town Georgia mayor was
arrested on the Florida Panhandle for allegedly driving the getaway
car in a bank robbery.
Forty-eight-year-old Terry Musgrove in 1979 became one of the
country's youngest mayors. He won with a 13-vote margin in south
Georgia's town of Newton before his 20th birthday.
Musgrove has since faced legal trouble. He resigned the
mayorship in 1985 after pleading guilty to distributing a small
amount of cocaine to undercover agents. He was also convicted in
the past decade on several drug and theft crimes in Georgia.
Musgrove and his brother allegedly robbed a north Florida bank
Tuesday before leading authorities on a 100 mph chase.
He was expected to get an attorney at a first appearance
Thursday.
