Rep. Vito Fossella of Staten Island might be facing a mandatory sentence of five days in jail after being arrested with DWI charges yesterday:
According to court documents in Alexandria, Va., Mr. Fossella, the only Republican member of Congress from New York City, had a blood-alcohol level of 0.17.

S. Randolph Sengel, the commonwealth attorney for Alexandria, said that a blood-alcohol level higher than 0.15 would require a mandatory jail time of five days.

Ruh-roh.
