"The long-time Albany police spokesman arrested last month will temporarily lose his driver's license. Detective James Miller waived his right to a DMV hearing Tuesday, so his license will be suspended for a year.

"Miller was pulled over downtown by an Albany police officer on the night of March 18, for driving a department-issued vehicle without the headlights on. The officer says Miller smelled like alcohol and refused a breathalyzer test at the scene.

"Miller accepted a deal with the DA's office that allowed him to plead guilty to one count of driving while ability Impaired. He was fined $550 and is still on unpaid leave from the department.

"Miller apologized for his behavior and said he hopes to turn this incident into something positive."

Just how many articles of that nature are there?

People pulled over by Albany police might consider asking them to walk a line and use a breathalyzer first (they wouldn't appreciate that, though).
