LEE COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - Suspended Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes is scheduled to return to the courtroom this summer as a defendant.
Hughes was arraigned on seven felony counts during a hearing Wednesday, where he pleaded not guilty to five ethics violations, conspiracy to commit theft and perjury. Appointed Circuit Judge Pamela Baschab set Hughes’s ethics trial for June 2021.
Less than 24 hours later he was arrested in Montgomery County for a single perjury count for reportedly giving false information to the Alabama Ethics Commission. That count is currently bound over for grand jury consideration.
