Kentucky's alcohol chief arrested for driving while doubly drunk.

The AP is reporting that Kentucky's alcohol chief, Chris Lilly, was arrested for driving while he was intoxicated.

Go here to watch the featured video. Below is the complete AP write up:

Police say the executive director of the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control is facing a drunken driving charge after he was arrested near Lexington Saturday night.

A police citation says Chris Lilly was pulled over on U.S. 27 outside Nicholasville because his Ford Explorer was missing a headlight, and because he was weaving and driving slowly.

Police say Lilly smelled of alcohol, lost his balance during a sobriety test and recorded a Breathalyzer reading of 0.181.

Governor Ernie Fletcher appointed Lilly to the executive director position last year.
Before heading up A.B.C., Lilly was the commissioner of the state’s Department of Public Protection and the executive director for the Office Of Charitable Gaming.

Practice pointer and Note: Mr. Lilly's alcohol reading was more than TWICE the legal limit of .08, making his crime an AGGRAVATED one that MANDATES jail time and increased penalties.
