| senator mike crapo |
Police in Alexandria, Va., said Sunday that the Idaho Republican was
pulled over after his vehicle ran a red light. Police spokesman Jody
Donaldson said Crapo failed field sobriety tests and was arrested at
about 12:45 a.m. He was transported to the Alexandria jail and released
on an unsecured $1,000 bond at about 5 a.m., reports The Associated
Press.
The 61-year-old Crapo has a January 4 court date.
"I am deeply sorry for the actions that resulted in this circumstance,"
Crapo said in a statement Sunday night. "I made a mistake for which I
apologize to my family, my Idaho constituents and any others who have
put their trust in me. I accept total responsibility and will deal with
whatever penalty comes my way in this matter. I will also undertake
measures to ensure that this circumstance is never repeated."
A Mormon who grew up in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Crapo was named a bishop in
the church at age 31. He is an attorney who graduated from Brigham
Young University and Harvard Law School. He has five children with his
wife, Susan, and three grandchildren.
The Mormon Church prohibits the use of alcohol, as well as caffeine and other mind-altering substances......hmmm, na wa oo.. can the Nigerian Police arrest any serving Senator for drunk driving?
