The mayor of Auburn should be treated just like any other normal citizen. If he was drunk on the night he was arrested, he should be charged, forced to pay the hefty fines that are given to normal citizens and either forced to go to jail or do the alternative sentencing that we would have to do along with the extra counseling sessions, which the expenses should come out of his pocket.
Isn’t there also a mandatory suspension of license?
I find it hard to believe that if he had “two or three” beers that his blood alcohol level was only .01. Of course he is going to say “I wasn’t drunk.” Isn’t that what they all say?
Obviously, it was enough for the officer to feel he was endangering the other motorists on the road because he pulled him over and arrested him. I do not think he should walk simply because he is the mayor. That is wrong.
