Idaho Sen. Crapo’s DUI report provides new details on 2012 arrest

WASHINGTON -- Nearly four years after Sen. Mike Crapo’s conviction for drunken-driving, the Idaho Republican got a chance to see the police report in his case on Thursday.

Police officials and the city attorney in Alexandria had kept the report under wraps since Crapo’s arrest, citing a Virginia state law that allows prosecutors to withhold police records, even from defendants.

But after the city denied a request by the Idaho Statesman and McClatchy to gain access to the report under the Freedom of Information Act, Crapo intervened, asking the prosecutor who handled the case to release the report to him.

He then shared it with McClatchy.

It didn’t paint a pretty picture of Crapo, describing how he struggled to walk and hold his head still as a police officer conducted sobriety tests on Dec. 23, 2012, in Alexandria, Va.

corporate shill POS, so glad I was able to evacuate Idaho in 2005. I recall writing an article about a shady action at an alleged "public" hearing several years ago. He spent over a week issuing press releases trying to argue that I was telling a tall tale. and every time I encountered one of his lackeys thereafter, they tried to shame me about it. I would just look at them in disgust and pity for their ignorance and tell them that all I did was tell the truth and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I'm sure I'm on some permanent shit list in Boise. I know I am truly despised by Dink Kempthorne and the former Senator wide-stance... and damned proud of it too.
