La Mesa employee friend of Mayor faces San Diego DUI charge
San Diego DUI criminal defense attorney news
A San Diego DUI / drunk driving charge was filed Thursday against a woman who was found slumped over in the driver's seat of an SUV owned by La Mesa Mayor Art Madrid, who was discovered lying on a sidewalk nearby and escorted home by officers.
Trisha Kristine Turner, a finance department employee for the city of La Mesa, faces up to six months in jail if convicted of the San Diego DUI.
She is scheduled to be arraigned for the San Diego DUI on April 10 in El Cajon, but does not have to personally appear in court if she hires a San Diego DUI lawyer because the San Diego DUI charge is a misdemeanor.
Madrid was found lying on a sidewalk near his sports utility vehicle about a block from his home around 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 20. Turner, 34, was keeled over in the driver's seat with the engine still running, San Diego DUI attorneys hear.
Police, who gave both a ride home, did not see either of them driving intoxicated because they pulled up to a stopped vehicle.
Madrid has not been charged with a crime, including San Diego DUI, say San Diego DUI attorneys.
The mayor has apologized for his actions, saying he doesn't have a drinking problem.
