Resignation

[edit]

Graves resigned in 2005, shortly after his second DWI arrest, and his subsequent attempt to claim legislative immunity, which was rejected. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail, fined $1,600, 20 days of home confinement, 240 hours of community service, and alcohol counseling. His driver's license was suspended for 12 to 18 months. He did not run for re-election.[2][3][4][5]
