Mark Joseph Madrigali, 53, of Bakersfield is charged with drunken driving and failure to provide proof of insurance, said Deputy District Attorney Kevin O'Hara. The charges also include an allegation that Madrigali was convicted of DUI within the past 10 years, O'Hara said.

Madrigali was arrested by a U.S. Park Police officer who saw the lawyer's silver 2008 Lexus go out of control Dec. 26 on Highway 101 near the Marin Civic Center, according to the California Highway Patrol.

His blood alcohol level was more than .15 percent, or nearly twice the legal limit for driving, O'Hara said.

At an arraignment on Thursday, defense attorney Francisco Rodriguez entered a not-guilty plea on Madrigali's behalf. The next hearing is set for Feb. 19.
