Huff Trial Set For April

County Councilman Todd Huff now knows when he will stand trial for a Feb. 23 arrest on drunken driving-related charges.

Last month, Huff asked for a trial in Circuit Court. That hearing will be held on April 18.

Huff faces five charges including three for related to drunken driving as well as driving without his headlights on and reckless driving.

The councilman's hearing comes 55 days after his arrest in Towson. Police say Huff's blood alcohol level was .20—nearly three times the legal limit—when he was pulled over in the parking lot of his family business along York Road. He was driving a county-owned Jeep Grand Cherokee at the time of the early morning arrest.

During the arrest, Huff asked to be taken home and threatened to call county police Chief Jim Johnson. The councilman left one voicemail for the police chief. Huff admitted during that brief call that he had been drinking before he was pulled over.

Since his arrest, Huff has voluntarily relinquished his county-owned car.
