[5] [6] During the arrest, Rios told the officers that they would "regret picking on me because you don't know who the fuck I am." [7]
Rios was charged with driving under the influence and refusing to provide a chemical test. [6] He later pleaded guilty to drunk driving and was sentenced to nearly one year of unsupervised probation and a $1,000 fine. [8]
In an apology statement, he said that "I decided to act like a dummie. They did nothing to deserve any sort of disrespect. I owe it to myself, my district, and everyone and I vow to make sure this never happens again." [4]
