Posted by Staten Island Congressman Vito Fossella will face a Virginia judge today for his DWI rap – and argue that cops administered a flawed Breathalyzer test.
Alexandria police say the Republican pol had a 0.13 blood-alcohol level during a field sobriety test after a traffic stop May 1.
Three hours later, two different machines registered 0.17 and at 0.185. The legal limit is 0.08.
Fossella’s lawyer, Barry Pollack, will argue there was no way his client got more drunk between the first and last tests.
“The reading suggests he was far more intoxicated than anyone’s description – even the officers who were present,” Pollack told The Post.
Fossella, who is not running for re-election, was on his way to see his mistress, Laura Fay.
