From Radio Iowa:
A state legislator who has been fighting a drunk driving charge for six months has reversed course and pleaded guilty.
State Representative Kerry Burt, a Democrat from Waterloo, now admits he was drunk and a judge has ordered him to pay a $625 fine and attend an Operating While Intoxicated education program. He’ll be on probation for a year and could be tested for substance abuse.
Burt’s trial on the drunken driving charge had been scheduled to start Monday in Des Moines. He was charged February 11, 2009, with drunken driving in the Des Moines suburb of Ankeny.
