Democratic Cochise County Attorney Brian McIntyre, an election fraud denier, was arrested for a Super Extreme DUI last January and pleaded guilty to Extreme DUI but has received no discipline from the State Bar of Arizona. He blew a .20 percent when arrested, more than two times the legal limit of .08 percent BAC. On Thursday, a concerned Arizona resident filed a bar complaint against him, just three days after State Representative Alexander Kolodin (R-Scottsdale) and Pima County Supervisor Ally Miller filed an election-related bar complaint against him.
An Extreme DUI, which is .15 BAC and higher. A Super Extreme DUI is driving with a BAC of .20 percent or higher.
Bryan Blehm, who has been involved with the Cochise County litigation over the election and is one of Kari Lake’s attorneys, told The Arizona Sun Times that “while attorneys generally don’t appear to be disciplined by state bars for regular DUIs, this isn’t a regular situation,”
“McIntyre was arrested for a Super Extreme DUI, and pleaded guilty to an Extreme DUI. He is the chief prosecuting attorney for Cochise County, responsible for prosecuting DUIs. Other prosecutors arrested for the same thing resign without even waiting for a conviction. Yet he pleaded guilty 9 months ago and there has been no discipline from the State Bar of Arizona, not even a reprimand. Meanwhile, the Arizona Bar is aggressively going after election attorneys to disbar them for representing MAGA candidates.”
The State Bar of Arizona is pursuing disciplinary charges against Blehm over his election lawsuits, and Blehm said he believes they will disbar him. He added, “Of course, he should be sanctioned by the bar for such egregious and unconscionable behavior. If I can be put on trial for speaking truth, he should be put on trial for risking the lives of members in the community he portends to represent.”
