UPDATED 6 p.m. Statement from Assemblymember released:

“The results from the blood alcohol test released today are a huge wake-up call for me.  I may have made a poor judgment thinking that I was sober enough to drive after a couple of drinks over the course of an evening.  Had I thought I was mentally or physically impaired to drive, I would not have gone behind the wheel of a car.
 
I look forward to fully looking into the specifics of the test for more information. I hope that others can learn from how dangerous it could be to drink any amount of alcohol prior to driving, as I have.
 
I offer my sincerest apologies to the constituents that I serve in the 57th Assembly District, to my family, colleagues, and staff for any embarrassment I may have caused.”
