Cops bust mayor’s wife violating coronavirus ‘stay at home’ order at 1 AM in a bar

"At approximately 1am on Sunday morning, I was informed by the Police Chief that the Alton Police Department was investigating and stopping a social gathering in downtown Alton that was occurring in violation of the provisions of the statewide 'Stay At Home' order.

I was also made aware that my wife was in attendance at this prohibited social gathering. I instructed the Police Chief to treat her as he would any citizen violating the 'Stay At Home' order and to ensure that she received no special treatment.

My wife is an adult capable of making her own decisions, and in this instance she exhibited a stunning lack of judgement. She now faces the same consequences for her ill-advised decision as the other individuals who chose to violate the 'Stay At Home' order during this incident."

Walker went on to say that he was "embarrassed" by the incident and he apologized to the community. The police chief of Alton referred to the party, at an establishment called Hiram’s Tavern as "brazen."

Experts say that divorce rates may spike drastically as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. There's no word out of Alton as to whether or not the mayor's marriage will survive these difficult times.
