In a plea arrangement, a Marin County sheriff’s sergeant pleaded no contest to a DUI charge. In return, a hit-and-run charge was dismissed.
San Rafael resident Michael James Brovelli, 49, entered the plea last week in Sonoma County Superior Court.
Brovelli was in a Marin County Sheriff’s vehicle when he hit a fire hydrant in Rohnert Park on March 4. His blood alcohol was almost twice the legal limit.
Brovelli remains a deputy in Marin and new Marin County Sheriff Jamie Scardina would not comment on what discipline, if any, the department has taken against Brovelli.
