The Sacramento Bee reports:
A California lawmaker was arrested this week for suspicion of drunken driving.
Democratic Assemblyman Roger Hernandez was arrested in the parking lot of the Crowne Plaza Hotel after he failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a breathalyzer test,Concord Police Chief Guy Swanger said.
Officers stopped Hernandez's white Toyota Camry about 2 a.m. Tuesday after they observed the car weaving from side to side in its lane on Concord Avenue, then turn suddenly onto Meridian Park Boulevard without signaling, Swanger said.
Hernandez claimed he had only "a couple of drinks" and said he was "very confident … the results will be in my favor."
