City to ask Mayor to reimburse for investigation re: San Diego DUI case
san diego dui lawyer
A La Mesa councilman will ask Mayor Art Madrid to pay for the investigation into how police responded when they found the mayor and a city employee apparently drunk on a street.
On Tuesday, La Mesa's city manager hired a private investigator to determine whether police followed policy Feb. 20 when they found Madrid, 73, and finance employee Trisha Turner, 34, a block from the mayor's home.
Turner was behind the wheel of Madrid's SUV, the engine running. Madrid was lying on the sidewalk. Police drove them to Madrid's home but did not cite them or give them sobriety tests.
The county District Attorney's Office has filed a San Diego DUI charge against Turner.
The investigation is not expected to cost more than $7,500. La Mesa, though, has a budget deficit and is considering a sales-tax increase for the November ballot.
Ewin said that after the investigation is complete and Turner's case is closed, he will ask Madrid at a council meeting to reimburse.
