The former physician from Dalton is currently being held without bond as he awaits a sentencing hearing next week. He could face anywhere between 10 days to a year behind bars.
The night of his arrest Foster was pulled over by police for driving his silver Mercedes without headlights in Dalton, near the Georgia-Tennessee state line.
According to a police report, Foster immediately submitted to a breathalyzer test before officers even suggested the need for one.
‘Steven made the statement that he had not been drunk since 1981 and I could give him a breath test if I wanted to,’ the report says.
‘I asked Steven why I would need to give him a breath test.’
Foster reportedly told the officer he had consumed two or three beers about three hours earlier.
His arrest video shows the 61-year-old swaying and stumbling during a field sobriety test.
Foster then agreed to a breath test, which showed his blood alcohol content was .103, well above the legal limit of .08.
Foster is running for a congressional seat in northwest Georgia’s 14th district - which Whitfield County is a part of - challenging incumbent Republican Rep Tom Graves.
Even without a criminal conviction, Foster would be considered a long-shot for the congressional seat in the deep-red district that was easily carried by Donald Trump in 2016.
Ish cool Occifer, I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
.103 is not “well over” .08.
It is obviously over. Well over is an exaggeration.
Completely aside from the fact that this particular guy is a drunken lunatic.....take a look at the pic. Oh but he’s not White...he’s “hispanic”.
Most “hispanics” in the US look like him by the way. The US is the only country on earth that classifies “hispanic” as an ethnic group. It makes about as much sense as classifying “American” as an ethnic group.
