Stipulated Facts: Based on an incident on March 26, 2017, Respondent pled guilty to operating a vehicle with a BAC of .08 or more, a class C misdemeanor. At the time of his arrest, he was a deputy prosecutor for Johnson County.
The parties cite no facts in aggravation. The parties cite the following facts in mitigation: (1) Respondent has no disciplinary history; (2) Respondent's misconduct was not due to a dishonest or selfish motive; and (3) Respondent has cooperated with the disciplinary process.
