BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) \u2014 The misdemeanor DUI trial against Alan Booth will continue Tuesday after the district attorney rested its case Friday.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors showed jurors pictures of a vodka bottle found in a bag that Booth was holding when officers arrived at Jim Burke Ford. The arrest at the dealership came five months after his arrest for DUI at the 2023 Christmas parade.<\/p>\n
Booth’s attorney argued that no one witnessed him drinking during his four hours at the dealership. Employees testified that he didn’t smell like alcohol.<\/p>\n
The defense will call its witnesses beginning Tuesday. The trial is expected to wrap up this week.<\/p>\n
