BOISE, Idaho (AP) - A Republican fundraiser is in jail after law enforcement officials say he violated his probation for felony drunken driving.
Jason Lehosit was in Ada County Jail Thursday, the Idaho Statesman reported.
The 33-year-old was campaign manager for Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's 2006 run for governor until he was fired after being arrested for his latest DUI. He has had four, in addition to multiple alcohol-related violations when he was still under 21.
In January 2006, 4th District Judge Thomas Neville sentenced Lehosit to 120 days in jail and five years probation. According to his sentence, Lehosit "may not drink" but "may be in bar for purpose of work only."
Department of Corrections spokesman Jeff Ray says Lehosit could get 180 days in jail for violating his probation.
Recently, Lehosit has been helping Lt. Gov. Brad Little raise money for his 2010 run.
