Trebilcock Arrested On DUI Charge

State Rep. John Trebilcock, R-Broken Arrow, was arrested over the weekend for allegedly driving under the influence, Tulsa police report. He was taken into custody about 2:30 a.m. Saturday near Second Street and Greenwood Avenue.
Trebilcock, the arresting officer said in his report, refused to take a breath analyzer test because he said he didn't trust the test's validity. He was booked into the Tulsa Jail and released about six hours later after posting $570 bond.
Trebilcock couldn't watch the tip of a pen move without turning his head during a field sobriety test but was able to stand on one leg and count aloud, the police report said.
Trebilcock was eastbound on Second Street in a black sport utility vehicle that didn't have its headlights on when he was pulled over, the report added.
Trebilcock said he had "two drinks with dinner" when the arresting officer asked him how much alcohol he had consumed, the report said. "When I told Mr. Trebilcock that I smelled a strong odor of alcohol coming from him, he replied that he had just kissed a girl that had been drinking and that is why he smelled like he had been drinking," the arresting officer wrote.
Trebilcock is the author of a 2005 law that requires people who are convicted of a second DUI charge to install ignition interlocking alcohol-detection devices in their automobiles before they can get their driver's licenses back.
