The Truth Comes Out of the Closet
Name: Roy Ashburn
Claim to Fame: California State Senator
Date of DUI: March 3, 2010
Facts: Sen. Roy Ashburn, 55, a Republican from Bakersfield, was spotted driving erratically at about 2 a.m. Wednesday in downtown Sacramento, officials said. He was arrested after taking a sobriety test, and he was taken to Sacramento County Jail, where he was administered a blood-alcohol test prior to being booked and released. He was charged with two misdemeanors: driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or higher. Ashburn, a father of four, was arrested after leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in midtown Sacramento. A male passenger, who was not identified as a lawmaker, was also in the car but was not detained.
Outcome: Ashburn pleaded no contest to the DUI charge. He was sentenced to two days in jail and three years probation. He will also pay fines and fees of about $2,000, attend a mandatory first offender DUI program and have his license suspended for 30 days.
Did You Know? Ashburn, who served in the state Assembly from 1996 to 2002 before he was elected to the Senate, voted against every gay rights measure since he became a senator.
