Mark Wheetley withdraws as candidate in 3rd District Supervisorial race
Statement from Arcata Council member Mark Wheetley:
"After long and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my candidacy for Third District Supervisor. Due to a number of personal and professional obligations, it would be difficult to sustain an effective and competitive campaign at this time in balance with those commitments."
"I am thankful for all the support I have received from the people of the Third District and throughout Humboldt County. I will continue to serve the people of Arcata on the City Council until my term expires in December 2018."

From Shouse Law site:
Most people who get arrested for DUI in California ultimately get charged with two separate misdemeanor offenses:
- driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, under California Vehicle Code 23152(a) VC, and
- driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or greater, pursuant to California Vehicle Code 23152(b) VC.2
Penalties for DUI offenses increase with each "prior" conviction. Penalties generally
consist of probation, alcohol education classes, fines and possible jail time. A
first-time offender faces no mandatory minimum jail time, while a second-time offender
faces a minimum of 96 hours in county jail. For a third-time offender, minimum jail
time increases to 120 days. A DUI causing injury can be charged as either a
misdemeanor or felony and can involve state prison time.
