Councilman Pleads Guilty in DUI Case

Westminster (myFOXla.com) - A Southern California city councilman has pleaded guilty to driving drunk when he ran his Mercedes Benz into a power pole.

Prosecutors say Westminster Councilman Andy Quach reached a plea deal with prosecutors and was sentenced Wednesday to three years of probation.

Quach's sentence also includes a 10-day work program, $2,000 in fees and a nine-month alcohol awareness program.

Quach was convicted of two drunken driving misdemeanors and a sentencing enhancement for the Aug. 2 incident in which he clipped another car and hit an electricity pole. His blood-alcohol level registered .26 percent, more than three times the legal limit.

A message was left for Quach's attorney Bart Kasperowicz.
