2:50 p.m.
The Arkansas attorney general's office says a member of the commission that awards licenses to grow medical marijuana has accused an unsuccessful applicant of trying to bribe him.
The state Supreme Court on Thursday released a previously sealed letter from Attorney General Leslie Rutledge's office that detailed the bribery allegation, most of which Rutledge's office said remains unsubstantiated and is being investigated by law enforcement. The court on Wednesday issued an order that said only attorneys in the case regarding the state's medical marijuana licensing program could view the letter.
