A North Dakota Republican lawmaker has been sentenced to serve nearly a year of unsupervised probation to pay $1,000 in fines and fees after pleading guilty to a drunken driving charge earlier this month.

Rios has said he is “seriously mulling all aspects” of his future, and plans to seek help for alcoholism, but he has made no plans to resign.

This story is a month old. I set reminders to check the outcome of interesting cases and didn’t see the result of this one until today.

Anyway, of course, a GOP POS won’t resign for behavior that would have destroyed a political career in the past. Way to go, GOP.

      But he wasn’t charged for insulting the cop. Do you think if a black person survived the encounter, he wouldn’t have faced a charge for that?
