St. Petersburg, Florida -- The assistant city attorney for St. Petersburg has been arrested for driving under the influence.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office website states that Mark Winn was arrested early Sunday morning for DUI and refusing to submit to a sobriety test. Both charges are misdemeanors.
The Tampa Bay Times reports Winn was pulled over at 32nd Avenue N and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street, where the officer observed bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol.
The Sheriff's Office site lists two previous arrests for DUI. In 2006, Winn was arrested for a DUI crash, while in 2008 he was arrested for DUI and again refusing to submit to testing. The Times reports his license was suspended on both occasions.
"There will be some action taken," Winn's boss, City Attorney John Wolfe told the Times. "I have to balance out his value to the city and the seriousness of the third arrest."
