OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Secretary of Finance Preston Doerflinger has been arrested by Oklahoma City police on an alcohol-related complaint.
The Oklahoman reports that Doerflinger was arrested late Thursday on a complaint of actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Records show Doerflinger was booked into Oklahoma County jail about 1:30 a.m. Friday and released.
A police report says Doerflinger was arrested after officers responded to a caller who reported seeing a distraught woman trying to get out of a vehicle. Officers located the vehicle and identified Doerflinger as the driver. The officer reported Doerflinger had the odor of alcohol on his breath and seemed confused.
In a statement, Doerflinger said: "I am deeply sorry for the embarrassment this has caused. It will not happen again."
