SACRAMENTO — Democratic state Sen. Ben Hueso was arrested Friday on suspicion of drunken driving, the latest black eye for the state's majority party and the 40-member chamber that suspended three other Democrats facing legal troubles.
Hueso, 44, of San Diego, was arrested at 2:39 a.m. and booked into Sacramento County Jail, said sheriff's Sgt. Lisa Bowman, after the California Highway Patrol stopped him going the wrong way on a one-way street.
He was released shortly before noon after posting bail of nearly $1,500 and was expected to appear in court Tuesday.
"I think I have the right to pursue my innocence, and that's what I'm going to do," he told reporters, speaking softly, with a serious expression.

“SACRAMENTO — Democratic state Sen. Ben Hueso was arrested Friday on suspicion of drunken driving, the latest black eye for the state’s majority party and the 40-member chamber that suspended three other Democrats facing legal troubles.”
Sounds like NY.
One party rule will do that sometimes.
Chortle
“I think I have the right to pursue my innocence, and that’s what I’m going to do,”
I’m guessing he lost that somewhere along the way before he got to Sacramento.
I was shocked that our local news actually identified this schmuck as a Dem
If I somehow woke up in HELL one morning, and realized I was a Demon-rat, I’d drink heavily, too! And then I’d drive my car as fast as I could into the nearest telephone pole.
Seriously - these people are soulless GHOULS who love to slaughter children in the womb. They spend EVERY waking hour plotting the demise of America. They’ve destroyed the American Family, and spend an inordinate amount of time enslaving the black community’s women and fatherless children.
If the GOP EVER grows a set again, Dems need to be driven so far into the ground that they never see daylight again!
But - I’m not holding my breath...
That could be because there is no real political opposition to Dems in CA?
Was he partying with rosemary Lehmberg?
As far as the LA Media goes, they will not identify someone as a Dem as long as they can help it. I remember a few months back when a California politician was accused of a crime, and it was like pulling teeth to get them to report that he’s a Democrat..one anchor actually said it under his breathe like he was afraid of being fired
Oh, thanks. So the identification part itself is news.
‘Rats want to be lawless, in perpetuity.
For here in LA it is..most of them they refuse to even say party affiliation, unless of course if its a Republican, than that is the huge headline, but a Dem, nah you have to pull teeth for them to even say the word Democrat
It made news here in San Diego because that is where he is from.
“after the California Highway Patrol stopped him going the wrong way on a one-way street.”
Sounds like a description of his party...
To bad the CHP can’t make an arrest.
“I was shocked that our local news actually identified this schmuck as a Dem”
Yes, and considering the name of the newspaper, downright unprecedented. Wow. Honest Democrats.
Corrective Action Will Be Taken.
can they say black eye ?
Like partying with the Mooch, unlikely possible to get that drunk.............
