A Teach-able Moment for Ryan Winkle?

This popular and highly-regarded District 3 Mesa City Council member made the news the other day for all the wrong reasons - a citation for driving under the influence.

To be fair and balanced, it is not the kind of news we neither want to see or hear, but nonetheless deserves to get reported



Nice headline, huh? [and police body cam video included]

MESA, AZ - Tempe police have released officer body camera footage of a Mesa politician's drunk driving arrest. . . .
A woman, who identified herself as Winkle's wife, seemed to try to get her husband off the hook, saying he is a city council member who supports police officers and their union.
“You guys are literally towing and arresting the only council person that’s supporting you guys in the union,” she said.
Winkle is put in handcuffs after he completed a field sobriety test. He refused a breathalyzer, but the video showed him submitting to a blood test. Those results are still being analyzed.
