Massachusetts Republican Shawn Oliver suspends campaign after arrest

Shawn Oliver, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor of Massachusetts, said Sunday he was suspending his campaign.
Oliver was arrested overnight in New Bedford after allegedly driving under the influence, according to the New Bedford Police Department.
His arrest came within 24 hours of the start of early voting in Massachusetts. Oliver is on the ballot alongside Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Minogue, who called for his running mate to suspend his campaign shortly after news of his arrest became public.
