A US senator has pleaded guilty to
drink-driving, at a court in the state
of Virginia and has had his driver's
licence suspended for one year. Michael Crapo, a Mormon, must also pay
a $250 fine (£156) and take an alcohol
safety course. The Republican from Idaho said he had
"several, probably two to three" vodka
tonics in his flat in Washington, DC
before deciding to go for a drive. Police stopped him when he drove
through a red light. The authorities registered blood-alcohol
levels of 0.11% after his arrest in the
Washington suburb of Alexandria. The legal limit for blood-alcohol levels
is 0.08%. "I am grateful, truly grateful, that no-
one was injured," Sen Crapo said, as he
asked for forgiveness from his
constituents. He added that he had tasted alcohol for
the first time about a year ago, and had
started drinking several nights a week
to relieve stress. "I was already thinking in my own
mind that this had to end," he told
reporters. "I believe in my heart that I had already
recognised that I was on a bad path
and I needed to find a different path to
follow."
