Senior assistant city attorney Robert West
An Ann Arbor city attorney pleaded with a Washtenaw County sheriff’s deputy to release him after he failed a preliminary breath test during a traffic stop in October, records show.
But the deputy refused because he feared criminal charges himself, according to a Sheriff’s Department video of the stop obtained by AnnArbor.com under the Freedom of Information Act.
Robert William West, 57, who was responsible for prosecuting drunken drivers at the time, was later charged with first-offense operating while under the influence.
If convicted of the misdemeanor, West faces up to 93 days in jail. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in 14A-3 District Court in Chelsea.
His driver’s license was destroyed, and West was issued a temporary driving permit after his arrest in Scio Township, records show.
West, a senior assistant city attorney, had no comment when reached by phone at his office Wednesday
