SALINAS, Calif. (KION-TV)- A man convicted of a DUI that occurred in March of 2018 was sentenced to two years in state prison Thursday, according to the Monterey District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni.
Enrique Lopez, 30, pleaded no contest on a charge for felony driving under the influence with a BAC of at least .08.

When officers pulled Lopez over they smelled alcohol coming from the vehicle and conducted a field sobriety test, which Lopez failed after registering a .09 BAC.
