GREELEY, COLO. - The Weld County assistant district attorney has pleaded
guilty to driving while ability-impaired, and is now on supervised
probation.
Michael Rourke will be required to complete 24 hours of public service
during the next four months, and pay an alcohol evaluation fee of $200.
A Colorado State Patrol trooper stopped Rourke along Interstate 25 for
speeding on May 1. A breathalyzer test revealed a reading of .07, just below
the state's legal limit for driving under the influence.
Rourke was charged with driving while ability-impaired.
He was suspended 30 days, but was reinstated to his position Wednesday.
The Larimer County district attorney's office says the case will be
dismissed in a year if Rourke complies with all of the terms of his
probation.
