A prosecutor in the Travis County District Attorney’s Office was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. According to police, there was a crash in the southbound MoPac Boulevard service road at 3:30 p.m. on August 11, with one of the vehicles hitting the rear of the other car, which had stopped. The driver of the car that hit the stopped vehicle, according to police, had a strong smell of alcohol, was swaying, and slurred his speech. Police also say the driver refused a breath test, but his blood was drawn after a search warrant was obtained. He was identified as an assistant district attorney in the DA’s Office. Blood results are still pending, and the prosecutor has been charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.
There are two interesting things about this case. One has to do with the conditions on which the suspect was released. The second involves the review of the case by his employer.
We’ll have to wait to see what happens as the case moves forward.
