ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Idaho Republican Sen. Michael Crapo (KRAY'-poh) has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor first-offense drunken driving charge in a Virginia court.
In exchange for his plea Friday in Alexandria, prosecutors dropped a charge of failing to obey a traffic signal.
Crapo received a $250 fine, a 12-month suspension of his driver's license and must complete an alcohol safety program. As long as he remains on good behavior, he won't have to serve a 180-day suspended jail sentence.
