Is anything true about Walz?

CNN discovered that Walz lied about his 1995 DWI during his first Congressional campaign in 2006. It turned into a DUI charge once the alcoholconnected to the incident, Walz admitted in court that he had been drinking when he was pulled over for driving 96 mph in a 55 mph zone in Nebraska. Walz was then transported by a state trooper to a local hospital for a blood test, showing he had a blood alcohol level of .128, well above the state’s legal limit of 0.

“Under NSP procedure, a person suspected of impaired driving is not allowed to continue driving,” Cody Thomas, a spokesman for the Nebraska State Patrol, told CNN. “In this case, the suspect was transported by the trooper and was lodged in Dawes County Jail.” His lawyer said Walz intended to use the incident as a way to educate his students on the perils of drinking and driving.

Walz’s attorney added that he reported the incident to his school and resigned from extracurricular activities such as coaching. He offered to resign his teaching position entirely, his lawyer said, but the principal urged him to stay on.Walz’s campaign disputed that he had been drunk – and claimed he had driven himself to the station. They did not mention whether or not Walz had been jailed.

‘The DUI charges were dropped for a reason,’ Salsbery added. “The judge would not have dismissed them if there were anything to them. Tim drove to the police station that night , and he drove home afterwards. I don’t think the trooper would have allowed that if he thought there was a problem.’”
