California Sen. Sabrina Cervantes Cited for DUI After Sacramento Crash

California State Senator Sabrina Cervantes was cited by Sacramento police on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs following a car crash near the state Capitol. Cervantes denies any wrongdoing, providing independent blood and urine tests that show no presence of drugs or alcohol in her system, and she claims to have been falsely accused and mistreated by police during the incident. The Sacramento Police Department maintains the investigation is ongoing and has stated that officers acted professionally, with body camera footage reportedly showing no misconduct. Security footage reviewed by CalMatters suggests Cervantes was not at fault for the crash, which was caused by another vehicle running a stop sign. Several of Cervantes' colleagues have publicly supported her integrity, and prosecutors are awaiting toxicology results before deciding on charges. The case remains under investigation as Cervantes seeks to clear her name.
