(City Councilman’s trial date set)….It is for an El Centro City Councilman.

Councilman Edgard Garcia was cited for Driving under the influence in early May. Garcia reportedly refused to take a field sobriety test and contested the citation. He was charged with DUI, and he entered a plea of Not Guilty. The fifth Judge assigned to the case has set January 14th, 2020 as the trial date. Four previous judges recused themselves  from hearing the case to avoid a possible conflict of interest.
