Sheriff: No Passengers Were In Ex-Lawmaker's Car

June 18, 2010 Updated Feb 10, 2009 at 5:53 PM EST ENGLISH, Ind. (AP) - The Crawford County sheriff says that despite previous reports former state Rep. Dennie Oxley had no passengers in his vehicle when he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. Oxley was arrested Friday night on preliminary charges of driving while intoxicated with a blood-alcohol content over 0.15 percent and a charge of driving while intoxicated with endangering a person. Sheriff Tim Wilkerson says Oxley - who was the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor last year - was alone in his vehicle when he crashed into a parked car in the southern Indiana town of Taswell. The sheriff's department had said Monday that Oxley had a passenger. Oxley has said he "made an error in judgment" and takes "full responsibility" for his actions.
