The 57 year old mayor of Brownsville, Pat Ahumada was arrested yesterday in the early morning hours for Driving Under the Influence after the police saw driving a car erratically.
The mayor was released on a $3,500 Personal Recognizance bond. When offered, her refused the breath test.
When asked about the arrest by the newspaper, he said that he has regrets, but didn't admit to anything.
This is not his first time down this road. He was arrested in 1987 for a Driving Under the Influence charge in which he ended up pleading guilty on and received six months probation. Nor is it his first time as a defendant. Stemming from a city check ending up in his personal checking account, he went to trial just this past March and was acquitted. He was also tried on other accounts related to the account, in which he was also found not-guilty.
