Allred, 'tired of living in a glass house,' says he's going to retire
RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - A member of the N.C. House accused by colleagues of inappropriately embracing a teenage female page said yesterday that he will leave the General Assembly after the current session ends.
Rep. Cary Allred, R-Alamance, said he will step down from the House seat he has held since 1995, the Burlington Times-News reported.
"I expect to retire by Sept. 1," Allred told the newspaper. He didn't return phone calls from The Associated Press to his home and his office, but he said last week that he was considering whether to complete his two-year term.
"I'm tired of living in a glass house," he said May 21. "But I have done nothing illegal or unethical."
