The FBI has accused Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne of leaving the scene of an accident because he was trying to conceal a relationship with a female employee, the Associated Press reports.
In a report obtained by the AP, agents said Horne was having an affair with Assistant Attorney General Carmen Chenal at her apartment. When he backed into a parked Range Rover, the FBI said Horne left the scene because he didn’t want evidence of the affair.
Horne was charged last week with a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident.
Horne originally claimed that he didn’t leave a note because he didn’t believe there was any damage, the AP reported.
