Monterey County Registrar of Voters Linda Tulett, 43, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 19, after a Pacific Grove police officer pulled her over on David Avenue for speeding, according to PGPD Cmdr. John Nyunt.
“She showed objective symptoms of intoxication and was right at the [DUI]limit,” he said. Tulett, who lives on Funston Avenue in P.G., was taken to the police station and held there until sober. She was released just after 4 a.m. with a citation to appear in court on the charge.

No one is saying.
No additional charges will be filed in connection with a Feb. 21 accident that injured five Pacific Grove High School students, including 18-year-old Chelsie Hill, who was partially paralyzed.
While the driver of the vehicle, Aaron Corn, 18, faces felony drunken driving charges, Carr said no one will be charged with furnishing alcohol that Corn allegedly drank before he crashed into a tree off rain-slickened Skyline Drive.
“We don’t have the evidence to support a furnishing (alcohol to a minor) charge against an adult,” Carr said. “We don’t have any information to hold an adult responsible.”
According to records obtained by The Herald, Monterey police investigated reports that a 21-year-old acquaintance purchased two 30-packs of Keystone beer at Rite Aid in Pacific Grove and gave them to the teenagers. The allegation was not supported by security video from the store, and the man denied involvement.
