Former Unalaska Assistant City Manager and current Bristol Bay Borough Manager John Fulton is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday on charges of driving under the influence, and refusing to submit to a chemical test.

According to charging documents, Fulton was attending the Unalaska High School graduation when he was warned by an off-duty officer that he was too intoxicated to drive. He then allegedly left the celebration and drove to the Grand Aleutian Hotel, where two officers found him unresponsive in his truck, with the keys in the ignition and the engine running. Fulton allegedly failed field sobriety tests, and was transported to the police station.

Once there, Fulton allegedly refused to take a test to determine his blood alcohol level, although the Unalaska Police Department says he did exercise his right to take an independent blood sample.

A first offense DUI carries a mandatory penalty of three days in jail, and up to a $1,500 fine. Refusing a chemical test carries the same penalties, and can also result in suspension of driving privileges.

Fulton is scheduled to be arraigned at 10 am Tuesday.

Update, June 4: Fulton pleaded not guilty to charges of driving under the influence and refusing a chemical test at an arraignment hearing Tuesday morning.

Fulton was not physically present, so he directed his attorney, Frederick Slone, to enter the plea on his behalf.

Judge Patricia Douglass set a trial date of September 16. In the meantime, Fulton is ordered not to consume alcohol and to keep it out of his presence -- both in public places, and at home.
