Sen. Debbie Ingram

Last night I was arrested near my home in Williston and charged with a DUI. I

am grateful that no one was injured as a result of my irresponsible behavior. I

suffer from a disease for which I have been getting treatment through a 12-Step

program. I had a temporary setback last night and will continue to seek treatment to ensure that something like this never happens again. I accept full responsibility for the consequences of my actions.
