Butte County Deputy District Attorney Arrested for DUI



According to local CBS affiliate, KHSL, Butte County, California Deputy District Attorney, Orin Brent Redelsperger was arrested last month on suspicion of DUI.

Redelsperger apparently refused a field sobriety test and was arrested. His two children were in the vehicle with him at the time, so he was also charged with child endangerment. His wife recently filed for divorce.

According to the Chico Enterprise-Record, Redelsperger crashed his car while on a private road. The California Highway Patrol says he had an alcohol level of 0.37, which is nearly five times the legal limit for intoxicated driving in California.

A blood alcohol level of 0.37? Yikes! According to this chart on Wikipedia, a man over 200 pounds would have to consume over 10 drinks to get that drunk. And the effects of 0.37 can be quite serious. Redelsperger is innocent until proven guilty. But it should be noted that crashing a car while driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.37 is only to be expected.

No matter what the outcome, let this serve as a reminder that alcohol does not discriminate.

  3. This DDA is now trying to take other peoples children away for using cannabis. What kind of monster is this guy? .37 blood level is crazy drunk and any father who drives that drunk with his kids, should lose his ability to prosecute someone else for child endangerment. It makes the Butte County look bad.
