Former Council Candidate Arrested for DUI

Former San Diego City Council candidate Felipe Hueso is out of jail after his arrest on suspicion of drunk driving.

An officer pulled Hueso over Monday night around 10:40 p.m. on the 4,000 block of Market Street.

Hueso was driving his Jeep with the off-road lights turned on, police said.

The officer smelled alcohol on Hueso's breath and gave him a field sobriety test, which police say registered 0.15.

The legal limit is 0.08.

Hueso lost last month's election to David Alvarez.
