The L.A. City Attorney has decided not to prosecute John Kerry’s daughter Alexandra for the DUI that she was arrested for last week.

Alexandra failed a field sobriety test after getting pulled over by the LAPD on Thursday, but her blood alcohol level only registered at a .06 when she was tested at the police station. The California legal limit is .08, and even though the City Attorney’s office has the right to prosecute an impaired driver with a BAC level under the legal limit, they typically choose not to do so.

Senator John Kerry’s daughter, Alexandra Forbes Kerry was arrested at 12:40 AM today in Hollywood on suspicion of DUI.

According to police, Alexandra was pulled over after she violated a traffic law. She then failed a field sobriety test, and was placed under arrest. She refused to take a preliminary alcohol screening test at the scene. Alexandra was taken in to the police station where she registered a .06 on a blood alcohol test (the CA legal limit is .08), which means she’ll probably be able to avoid prosecution.

She was released a 5:25 AM today.

Update: John Kerry’s spokesperson has just released a statement about the incident. The statement reads:

Alexandra Kerry was pulled over for an expired registration and was released after the results of a breathalyzer test at the police station were under the legal limit. Senator Kerry supports his daughter and will have no further comment on a private matter.

The arresting officer, Enrique Mendoza also spoke, indicating that at the time of arrest, Alexandra “identified herself as Sen. Kerry’s daughter” - probably in an attempt to get off easy.
