A California legislator who is running for a seat on the Los Angeles City Council was arrested early Friday on suspicion of drunken driving, according to law enforcement and jail records.

Officers responded to a report of a traffic collision around 12:20 a.m. in Los Angeles and took Wendy Carrillo, the driver, into custody, Officer Annie Moran said. Carrillo, who represents parts of northeastern and east Los Angeles, was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. Jail records show she was held on a misdemeanor offense.

In a statement later Friday, Carrillo said she crashed into parked vehicles and that no one was hurt. She did not directly admit to driving under the influence of alcohol.

You can tell she is a Democrat, because they did not say she is a Republican.

Officer, I make it a rule not to drink while I drive. I might hit a pothole and spill my drink.

First thing I looked for. Had to go way down in the article before they nonchalantly mentioned her party was “democrat”. She’s going to destroy the “democrats’” democrazy.

I wonder whether she’s a member of a major political party?

"...suspicion of drunken driving..."

Don't they use breathalyzers in California, or did they just have her come back the next day for the test?

This kind of stuff will all be fun and games until somebody runs into a parked EV and that spontaneously ignites. Good thing burning EV’s don’t contribute to pollution problems.

She was arrested FOR drunk driving, not suspicion of drunk driving.
