Now, a judge has sentenced him to 15days in jail. He’ll then face two years of recovery court probation, and random monthly drug and alcohol testing.
In a statement, Posthumus called the incident “the wake-up call I needed to make serious changes in my life.” He said he’s begun attending Alcoholics Anonymous, and is now living a “sober and healthy life.”
Posthumus has also pledged to re-pay the state his lawmaker’s salary during his jail time.
