Sources tell CBS13 a state senator from Southern California was arrested
for allegedly driving drunk after leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in midtown Sacramento, early Wednesday morning.
The California Highway Patrol pulled over Senator Roy Ashburn at 2:00 a.m. Wednesday after an officer noticed a black Chevy Tahoe swerving at 13th and
L Streets.
Ashburn, a father of four, is a Republican Senator representing parts of
Kern, Tulare and San Bernardino Counties with a history of opposing gay
rights.
--
Ashburn served six years as a state Assemblyman before being elected to the State Senate. According to Project Vote Smart, Ashburn's voting record
shows he has voted against every gay rights measure in the State Senate
since taking office including Recognizing Out-Of-State Same-Sex Marriages", Harvey Milk Day and Expanding Anti-Discrimination Laws.
