ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- The First Coast continues to play a major role in national politics.

Not only are presidential contenders making stops in the area, now a former president will be holding court.

Bill Clinton, president from 1993-2001, will speak at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre next spring.

Clinton has recently released "Back to Work," a book detailing his ideas for solving the current economic situation.

Clinton's visit will make him the sixth man to have occupied the White House to visit the city, according to the news release from the amphitheatre.

Only Chester A. Arthur visited while still in office. Lyndon Johnson visited while he was Vice president, and Ulysses Grant, Warren Harding and Theodore Roosevelt all visited after leaving the White House.

City Commissioner Speaks About His Arrest

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A St. Augustine City Commissioner Errol Jones is puzzled about what happened Saturday night and why police arrested him this past weekend.

Jones spoke with First Coast News Monday about what led to his arrest. He is charged with resisting an officer without violence.

According to the police report, police were investigating an assault at 60 Julia Street. That's where Jones' mother lives. He said he had received a call from a relative at the home on Julia about an argument, so he went to the house just around the corner from his home to see what was going on. Some officers with the St. Augustine Police Department were at the home.

During the officers' investigation, the report said a man came out of the garage, "rushing" at the officers.

However, Jones said he was never in the garage or in the house.
