Salinas, California- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on Tuesday, July 27 that 47-year-old Monterey County District 1 Supervisor Luis Alejo, pled guilty to driving a vehicle with a blood alcohol content above 0.08%. On May 28, 2021, at approximately 11:36 pm., California Highway Patrol Officer J.

Officer Gallemore initiated a traffic stop and contacted the driver, Luis Alejo. Upon contacting Supervisor Alejo, the officer smelled a strong odor of an alcohol beverage, observed that his speech was slurred, and his eyes were red and watery. When asked to step out of his vehicle, Alejo was unsteady on his feet. Supervisor Alejo cooperated with the investigation. Breath tests demonstrated that his blood alcohol content was .17 % and .16 %. Supervisor Alejo did not personally appear in court on Tuesday, July 27 for his court hearing. Judge Elisabeth Mineta took his plea through his private attorney and sentenced him to 5 years’ probation with standard DUI terms of probation, including 2 days in jail, waiver of search and seizure of blood draw, and a fine of $1749.00.

      Only after repeated duo’s do you get a breathalyzer. It’s good to become educated.
