Aurora City Councilmember Rob Andrews pleaded guilty to a DUI charge on Tuesday and was sentenced to 10 days of at-home detention, 12 months of probation, and 48 hours of community service.

Andrews, elected to the City Council in November, was pulled over on Jan. 17 and arrested on suspicion of a DUI, the Aurora Police Department said, after he was weaving and made an improper left-hand turn.

A breathalyzer test, which Andrews voluntarily complied with, showed his breath alcohol content as 0.252 grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath, according to the offense report obtained by The Denver Gazette in January.

In Colorado, the legal blood alcohol concentration limit for drivers is 0.08%.

APD officials confirmed that Andrews, 41, was arrested and kept overnight on a detox hold at the Aurora Detention Center following the incident.

The next day, Andrews released the following statement:

“On Saturday, January 17, I was pulled over by Aurora police after making an improper U-turn. After sobriety testing, officers determined I was not fit to drive.

I take full responsibility for my decision. I am deeply sorry — to my family, to the people I serve, and to everyone who expects better from me.

I am grateful no one was hurt. That does not lessen the seriousness of what happened. I am cooperating fully with the legal process and working closely with my family and counsel as this moves forward. Accountability has to mean more than words. I am sorry. I will do better, and I will prove it through my actions.”

In February, Andrews’ legal team questioned the legitimacy of the breathalyzer test conducted by APD Ofc. James Shupe.

In court documents obtained by The Denver Gazette in March, attorneys requested proof that the officer who breathalyzed him and determined he was driving drunk was certified to do the breath alcohol test.

APD spokesperson Gabby Easterwood told The Denver Gazette that Shupe was authorized to use the breathalyzer and the technology would not have allowed him to if his certification had expired.

In Tuesday’s court hearing, Andrews pleaded guilty to one charge of DUI 0.2 or higher, according to Denver Gazette news partner 9News. As part of Andrews’ plea deal, charges related to his driving — including a lane usage violation and improper turn — were dismissed.

Andrews serves as the chair of the public safety committee. He did not respond to a Denver Gazette request for comment Wednesday.
