One the CHP officer approached Sutherland he detected an odor of alcohol and determined that Sutherland may be driving under the influence.

After the officer had Sutherland perform certain field sobriety tests the officer determined he had probable cause to arrest Sutherland for driving under the influence.

A breath test showed Sutherland exceeded the state’s .08 B.A.C.

Because Sutherland has a prior DUI in November 2004, this case could result in up to one year in jail and up to a $1,000 fine.

The Los Angeles City Attorney will file charges and then Sutherland will have to decide if he will enter a plea or dispute the charges.
