A state senator in South Carolina charged with public intoxication after being found in his parked SUV in a strip mall lot said he is embarrassed and that law enforcement acted properly taking him to jail for several hours.
Davis failed sobriety tests and the officer charged him with public intoxication because he could not leave Davis in the parked SUV in his condition.
According to the police report, the officer asked Davis if he knew anyone in Lexington and Davis said his girlified lived there, but they had an argument and she asked him to leave. Lexington police confirmed Davis did not mention he was a state senator until after he was taken into custody.“He only mentioned it after the arrest and when the officer asked what he did for work,” Lexington Police spokesperson Sgt. Cameron Mortenson said.
“I felt a sense of shame and a sense of falling short of what people expected of me. It may have been a good decision or a bad decision, but I thought I need to let people know what I was going to do about it,” Davis said.
