Jacksonville Civic Council Chairman Steve Halverson arrested and charged with drunk driving last night after an officer saw him weaving on Hendricks Avenue.
The JSO report says Halverson, who's already president and CEO of the The Haskell Company, told the officer the car was new and may have contributed to his driving difficulties.
He failed a field sobreity test and has been released.
Halverson, 59, also reportedly said he would drive with loved ones in his condition and he doubted he was over the legal limit.
