We have previously covered the drunk driving charges against Auditor of Accounts Tom Salmon, and there isn't a lot more to say about the substance of the charges. He got caught doing it, he admitted it, and he's now facing the criminal consequences. Today was the date set for his arraignment, the date at which he was to appear, answer the charges, and enter his plea. GMD was in court today, serving on a jury, so we have this on-the-scene report:
At the arraignment today Salmon appeared with his attorney and pled guilty to the DUI charge. The court accepted his plea . Pursuant to a plea agreement Salmon was convicted and fined $500 plus standard court surcharges. He is already serving civil license suspension and was ordered to participate in the CRASH program. He made a brief statement andleft with his attorney and his wife. |
