Stephen Arrington is an award-winning author and a motivational and drug education speaker. In the past, he was a Navy bomb disposal diver and Vietnam veteran who worked on missions with the CIA and Secret Service.
A marijuana mistake destroyed his 14-year career and directly led to him becoming a defendant in the John Z. DeLorean Case of 1982, known as the Drug Trial of the Century.
President Obama pardoned Arrington in 2017 for his extensive work with youth on drug education and prevention.
He has written seven books and produced various award-winning documentaries.
His latest, "In DeLorean's Shadow: The Drug Trial of The Century by The Sole Surviving Defendant," walks you through the trials and tribulations of his past from utter darkness to the shining light.
