Thanks dad! Arkansas governor agrees to pardon his own son for a 2003 marijuana conviction

It's not exactly the sort of father-son moment most parents dream of. But Arkansas governor Mike Beebe took a moment to reflect how much his son had grown up - after agreeing to pardon him for a marijuana conviction

The pardon stems from Kyle Beebe's felony conviction for possession of marijuana with intent to deliver in 2003, when his dad was serving as the state's attorney general.

Outgoing governor Beebe said the reason the pardon had taken so long was because his son, who is now 34, had not requested it until now.
