Memphis City Councilwoman Janis Fullilove (left, in file photo) may be facing some legal troubles, but she still showed up for a full day at the City Council.

Fullilove, dressed in a demure gray suit, has sat through most of the meetings this morning. She declined to answer questions from a reporter.

Fullilove, 59, was arraigned Monday in Criminal Court on driver's license fraud and two other misdemeanors.

She was indicted last month with obtaining and possessing a license last year by telling the examiner her license was lost, when it actually had been seized by Mississippi authorities for driving under the influence of medication. She had refused a Breathalyzer test.

She also was indicted for driving on a revoked license in March of this year at MIFA headquarters on Vance.

Fullilove remains free on $5,000 bond and returns to court on Sept. 2.
