Tennessee DUI Attorney enters plea for former State Senator
A Tennessee DUI Attorney entered a not-guilty plea to DUI charges for former State Senator Kathryn Bowers on September 21. The charges stemmed from an incident on August 31, when police said Senator Bowers sideswiped a UPS truck.
Bowers' attorney stated that Bowers had recently changed her blood pressure medication and he would like to see the charge dismissed. Bowers won the Democractice primary for re-election on August 3 but resigned from office earlier this month, citing health problems.
Bowers is also facing federal bribery charges related to the Tennessee Waltz Investigation. She is scheduled for trial in those charges in April. Bowers is one of eleven people facing charges in the Tennessee Waltz Investigation which came to public attention in May 2005 after an extensive sting operation. Five former state officials are among those facing charges of bribery and corruption.
