The Arlington Club today sent an email to all members notifying them that the president of the club's board, John Bradley, is giving up his board position and resigning from the downtown businessman's club which celebrates its 148th birthday next week.
As WW reported last week, Bradley, 60, the CEO of R&H Construction, was arrested at his Northwest Portland home on Sept. 30 on domestic violence charges.
Bradley is due in court on Dec. 3, where he is expected to change his initial "not guilty" plea to misdemeanor charges of assault in the fourth degree, menacing and harassment.
Here's the email Arlington Club manager Mike Legg sent to all members today:
