SIERRA VISTA, AZ — Newly obtained body cam footage shows Cochise County Attorney Brian McIntyre being arrested for alleged DUI.
McIntyre was pulled over on Sunday around 2 a.m. by a Sierra Vista police officer who says he saw McIntyre swerving in between lanes.
"So back right over here you were driving right on the line and right here when you were driving on Oakmont, you made a wide turn and straddled the double yellow line," the officer said.
The officer asks McIntyre to step out of the car then tells dispatchers to bring another unit.
"Brian, why are you drinking and driving,” asked the officer.
"Look, you have to do what you have to do,” said McIntyre.
The officer then asks McIntyre to move to the sidewalk to ask him more questions.
"I can’t believe you are out drinking and driving,” said the officer.
The prosecutor agrees to do an initial breathalyzer test.
"You're going to be extreme,” said the officer.
McIntyre blew a .2 and the legal limit is .08.
Officers say they cited him for super extreme DUI.
The 50-year-old attorney was arrested without incident and is scheduled to appear in court on February 16th.
After his arrest, McIntyre released a written statement:
For 18 years I have done my best to ensure that choices have consequences. My choices will also have consequences and the matters will be handled by an outside prosecution entity and most likely an out-of-county judge. As disappointed as I am in myself, it is the looks of disappointment from the professionals who had to do their duty last evening due to my choices that will live with me the longest. No one is above the law, including me.
