Douglas County Commissioner Kyle Steinberg Arrested for DUI

Douglas County Commissioner Kyle Steinberg was arrested for driving under the influence early Tuesday morning.

According to the East Wenatchee Police Department, the incident first began around 1:27 am. The reporting party, which was in the McDonald's drive-thru at 201 Valley Mall Parkway, told Rivercom that some other people in the drive thru were being unruly and calling others in the drive-thru names while appearing intoxicated.

A short time later, police arrived as Steinberg was exiting the drive-thru. A traffic stop was initiated and the responding officer noted the obvious odor of alcohol as well as a driver that seemed intoxicated.

The driver, identified as Steinberg, was placed under arrest for driving under the influence after a DUI investigation. Steinberg gave two breathalyzer samples of .154 and .152, just under double the legal limit of .08. He was eventually release from the East Wenatchee Police Department.
