Cochise County Attorney Brian McIntyre was arrested early in the morning on January 28 for a “super extreme” DUI. McIntyre, who became nationally known for feuding with the Cochise County Supervisors over their efforts to conduct a hand count of ballots during the 2022 midterm election and their vote to reject certifying the results, tested at .21 Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), more than twice the legal limit.
McIntyre provided a statement through the Sierra Vista Police Department.
