BANGOR, Maine (AP) - A Maine prosecutor arrested on a druken driving charge has been placed on administrative leave.
Thirty-three-year-old Brendan Trainor of Hampden has been charged with operating under the influence of intoxicants.
Trainor, a Penobscot County assistant district attorney, was stopped by Hampden police before being taken to jail last week. District Attorney R. Christopher Almy told the Bangor Daily News Trainor's blood alcohol level was 0.21 percent, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
Almy said he expects the case to be transferred to 5th District Court in Belfast to avoid any possible conflict of interest in Penobscot County. Geoffrey Rushlau, district attorney in Waldo County, and his staff will handle the case.
Trainor has worked in the district attorney's Bangor office for three years. He has no criminal record.

Imagine that! Brendan got caught. I'll be curious to see the result if this. I was a juror for a similar case and guilty was our verdict. Here's the rub Brendan, .21 is more than twice the legal limit and I believe this would be a criminal OUI...Jail time buddy. Enjoy your stay at The Crowbar Hilton. Make sure you leave the towels behind. Maybe you'll find some old acquaintences there?
