## Transcript

As you may know, I try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself. And this was not that. This was not that. And so what I'd like to say to everyone watching and listening even if you've had one drink, don't get behind the wheel of a car. There's so many alternatives. Call a friend. Taking Uber. There's many travel apps. Still take a taxi. This is a mistake that I made, but I'm hoping that whoever's watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake. I know that I certainly have. And like I said, even one drink, don't get behind the wheel of a car. I like to say, we can all be more safe out there.

And I'm going to do my part. I hope that everyone else does their part. After much discussion and a thorough review of the evidence, today, the District Attorney's Office correctly agreed to not move forward with that very charge. You see, the evidence revealed that my client finished the contents of one drink in 2 hours at the American hotel. And contrary to what was reported, He wasn't drinking other people's drinks or warned in advance not to drive. He wasn't rude, he wasn't obnoxious. He wasn't belligerent. In fact, he was polite, and he was cooperative, and he was respectful during his entire encounter with Law enforcement.

His plea today to the reduced and amended non criminal charge, this traffic violation is consistent with these facts and full acceptance of responsibility for them.
