Police pick up freshman senator suspected of DUI
Nebraska District State Senator 46 Danielle Conrad, previously elected as Danielle Nantkes of Lincoln was driving east on P Street in the south lane in her 1990 Dodge Spirit at 1 a.m. when she collided with a southbound Caterpillar front-end loader, according to Officer Katherine Finnell. She said the snow plow had not quite cleared the intersection at 19th Street when Conrad hit the right rear of it, causing $1,500 damage to her own car.
The snow plow driver, Timothy Brabb of Lincoln, called police.
Conrad, 29, told the officer she tried to stop but couldn’t because of the snow, according to the accident report. Finnell said the officer observed signs of impairment and said Conrad smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech, noticeably impaired balance and bloodshot, watery eyes.
Conrad allegedly refused to take field sobriety tests or a preliminary breath test at the scene and was taken to the police station, where she refused a chemical test, according to Finnell.
Police cited her on suspicion of negligent driving, misdemeanor driving under the influence and refusal of a preliminary breath test and chemical test.
Then they took her to Cornhusker Place detox center, which is often what police do when DUI suspects live in Lincoln, don’t have a record of failures to appear and are accused of misdemeanors, Finnell said. By state law, police couldn’t arrest her. According to Article III, Section 15 of the Nebraska State Constitution, state senators — except in cases of treason, felony allegations or a breach of the peace — are privileged from arrest during the session and 15 days before and after.
She issued a written statement apologizing for the accident Wednesday afternoon.
“I was involved in a property damage incident last night. Alcohol was a factor. No one was hurt,” Nantkes said. “I humbly apologize to my constituents, colleagues, friends and the public.”
She said she would get an alcohol evaluation and follow all recommendations.
