WINFIELD -- The former sheriff of Putnam County has been fined $100 for a November 2008 DUI arrest.

Stan Farley, 66, entered a plea agreement of no contest on Sept. 25, and was fined $100 in addition to $234 for court costs by Putnam County Magistrate Linda Hunt.

Farley served as Putnam County's sheriff from 1997 to 2004.

He was arrested Nov. 6, 2008, two days after he lost the election to Mark Smith in his bid to return to his former office.

He was arrested around 9:30 a.m. in 2008 by the Hurricane Police Department after he hit another car at the intersection of U.S. 60 and Main Street in Hurricane.

Police officers could smell alcohol on his breath, and administered a Breathalyzer. His blood alcohol level was 0.118, according to a criminal complaint filed in Putnam Magistrate Court in November 2008. A blood level of 0.08 is the legal limit.

No injuries were reported in the accident.

Farley was arrested at the scene and transported to the Putnam County Courthouse, where he posted a personal recognizance bond and was released that same day. 

The arrest was Farley's first DUI offense.
