Conyers 'Sorry' For Incident Involving Son

Michigan Congressman John Conyers, Jr. says he'll pay up, following an incident involving his son and Conyers' congressional vehicle.

U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., says he will reimburse the federal government for the unofficial and unauthorized use of his government vehicle by his 20-year-old son, John Conyers III.

The younger Conyers told Detroit police last week that someone stole two laptop computers and 1,000 concert tickets from the 2010 Cadillac Escalade after he parked it near Brush and Congress in downtown Detroit around midnight on Nov. 24.

"I have just learned about the inappropriate use of a congressional vehicle by my son over the Thanksgiving holiday," Conyers said in a statement Tuesday. "I am sorry it happened and will make sure that it does not happen again."
