Dale Cardwell arrested for DUI
Consumer advocate pulled over last week in Doraville
The former investigative reporter, U.S. Senate candidate and smokestack sitta was picked up by Doraville cops last week. From the AJC:
- Joeff Davis
Cardwell was pulled over just after midnight on June 3 at the intersection of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Motor Drive, Doraville police spokesman Officer Gene Callaway told the AJC.
"What caught the officer's eye, is (Cardwell) sat through a green light," Callaway said.
Cops arrested the muckraker after he remembered his rights and refused to take a Breathalyzer test. (Which kind of sounds like the badass thing a former investigative reporter knows he or she could do if they were accused of driving under the influence.)
Most recently, Cardwell's been working on Trust Dale, a new consumer advocacy website and TV show on 11 Alive.
UPDATE: Cardwell tells Rodney Ho:
“I have great respect and a proven track record for law enforcement...In this situation, I believe they got it wrong.”
