EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A judge has ordered a western Michigan lawmaker to perform 40 hours of community service and pay $1,101 for drunken driving.
State Representative Bob Genetski received the sentence Wednesday in East Lansing District Court.
A Michigan State University police officer stopped him January 19. A test at a hospital showed the lawmaker with a blood alcohol level of 0.09 percent. A reading of 0.08 percent or more is drunk under Michigan law.
The 45-year-old Saugatuck Republican took the case to trial, and a jury convicted him September 25.
Genetski has said that he was driving slightly over the speed limit and heading to a motel after leaving the state Capitol area on the night of Governor Rick Snyder's State of the State address.
