Former Twin Falls County Sheriff's captain sentenced for DUI

TWIN FALLS — A former Twin Falls County Sheriff‘s captain was sentenced Tuesday to a year of supervised probation and 48 hours of community service for drunken driving while off duty.

Brent Hilliard was sentenced in Twin Falls County Fifth District Court. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor Oct. 23 for driving under the influence. He was originally charged with an excessive DUI, but the charge was amended. An excessive DUI means a person has a blood alcohol level of 0.2 or more. Hilliard’s precise level was not listed in court documents.

On Tuesday, Judge Calvin Campbell ordered a 12-month withheld judgement. He told Hilliard he was going to treat him just like anyone else and order a withheld judgement because he doesn’t have a prior record.

“I know you’re probably more disappointed in yourself than anyone,” he said.
