Officers responded to the scene of a collision on Monterey Road early Friday morning and arrested Carrillo after she failed a breathalyzer test, a police source said.
State Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo, who is running for an Eastside seat on the Los Angeles City Council, was arrested in northeast Los Angeles early Friday morning on suspicion of drunk driving, authorities said. Carrillo, 43, was apprehended at 1:35 a.m. and was booked a few hours later, according to inmate records posted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Police responded around 1:30 a.m.
issued a summary of the arrest that said that Carrillo was booked for driving under the influence and being involved in a traffic collision while having a high blood-alcohol count. Capt. Kelly Muniz said a suspect arrested with a high blood-alcohol count is someone who has 'double the legal limit or more.' Representatives of Carrillo did not immediately provide comment on the arrest. Carrillo was elected in 2017 to represent an Eastside Assembly district. She is now one of about a dozen people running in the March city election to replace Councimember Kevin de León in a district that stretches from downtown to El Sereno and Eagle Rock.
