McCain Staffer Pleads Guilty to Arizona DUI

Staff assistant charged with extreme DUI during second drunk driving arrest this year.

A staff assistant to Sen. John McCain entered a guilty plea to charges of extreme DUI in Phoenix Arizona. Carlos Sierra was arrested May 2 after reportedly speeding, driving on a sidewalk and making illegal turns. He was unable to provide proof of insurance and his blood alcohol content was reportedly .20%, well above the legal limit for intoxication.

It is the second time this year that Sierra has been arrested for driving under the influence in Arizona. He was charged with AZ DUI on March 28 after speeding, running a red light and registering a BAC above .08%. He is still waiting to go to court on those charges.

Sierra, 27, works in McCain’s Tempe office. According to a McCain spokesperson, Sierra is still employed at the office but is on suspension pending the outcome of charges against him.
