Prosecutor charged with drunken driving over the weekend is leaving his job.

Police say Joseph Meany was arrested after he crashed into two parked cars on his way home early Saturday morning. Meany was charged with misdemeanor DWI / drunk driving and with refusing a field sobriety test.

Albany County District Attorney David Soares said today that he can't allow a person who took an oath to enforce the law, to knowingly break the law and then continue prosecuting people for the same crime.
