Wed Mar 26, 1:27 PM ET
SAVANNAH, Ga. - A DUI coordinator in a Georgia court has resigned after being charged with drunken driving, officials said.
Police said Brian P. Harrell, 24, was arrested Friday in Athens after being stopped about 1:30 a.m. while driving without his headlights on.
Harrell — who has worked for two weeks as coordinator for the Chatham County State Court's newly developed DUI program — said he had been drinking but "not much," police said.
Tests indicated Harrell's blood-alcohol level was 0.13. The limit in Georgia is 0.08.
The State Court DUI program is a pilot project intended to help offenders avoid incarceration by following probation.
