BREAKING Salt Lake City Council member Amy Fowler announces resignation following DUI arrest earlier this month
In a statement Tuesday, Fowler said her resignation came"after much thought and consideration" and will become effective on July 3.
"Thank you to the residents of District 7 for twice electing me to serve. It has been an honor,” Fowler wrote. Fowler was arrested May 3 after being involved in an alleged hit-and-run accident before being found sitting in her car with the engine running by a Utah Highway Patrol trooper. The trooper wrote that Fowler's eyes were red and bloodshot, and that she smelled of alcohol.
After first refusing to take sobriety tests, she performed one test and failed, and was then placed under arrest with a recorded .111 BrAC. During a Council meeting days later, Fowler apologized and said she was taking the matter seriously on a"personal level," and that it had been an eye-opening experience in regards to her"relationship with alcohol" and decisions that she had made.Fowler first took office on the Council in 2018 and won reelection in 2021.
