HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - The city attorney was arrested for investigation of drunken driving after police spotted her driving the wrong way on a downtown street, officials said.
"It's been a hard day," said Jennifer McGrath, 37, who was elected in 2002.
McGrath was arrested shortly after midnight Wednesday, said Lt. Irwin Feuerstein, a spokesman for the Huntington Beach Police Department. She was booked into the city jail for investigation of misdemeanor drunken driving and was released on her own recognizance, he said.
The results of a blood test are pending, Feuerstein said.
McGrath declined to discuss the incident in detail but read from a statement in which she admitted making a mistake.
"I am taking responsibility for my actions and the consequences thereto," the statement said. "I deeply apologize for any embarrassment I have caused the city, my family or my friends, and I can assure all of you that this will never happen again."
Huntington Beach Mayor Dave Sullivan declined to comment on McGrath's arrest.
