The Mayor of New Bern, NC was recently arrested and charged with DWI. The incident occurred Monday morning after the police received calls from concerned motorists about a vehicle that was driving erratically. Police were able to catch up with the vehicle and stopped the vehicle after observing the vehicle’s behavior. There were also two minor children in the vehicle at the time.
The police performed field sobriety tests and arrested the Mayor afterwards. The Mayor agreed to have a blood sample taken to be tested to test for any impairing substances. He blew a 0.00 on the Breathalyzer which indicates there was not alcohol in his system at the time. Despite the 0.00 BAC the magistrate found there was enough probable cause to issue a warrant for DWI.
