JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Johnson City Mayor John Hunter issued a statement on his social media Saturday afternoon after a video of him gained traction on social media.

In the video, Hunter appears to be stumbling in downtown Johnson City. The video ends by showing a white truck driving away.

Hunter posted the following statement to social media on Saturday:

Last Saturday, a video of me in public was taken and has since circulated on social media. I recognize that our community holds high values and standards and I fell short of them.

I am deeply sorry for my actions and regret the embarrassment and disappointment they have caused my family, colleagues and community.

I am committed to learning from this experience and making better choices moving forward.
