The day after the incident, Seabaugh put out a statement denying he was driving under the influence, but a GSP trooper said in a report obtained by Channel 2 Action News through an open records request that the Congressman “smelled a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from [Seabaugh’s] breath.”
The GSP said the cyclist suffered an injury but was unsure if it was from Seabaugh’s car hitting him.
According to records from the Atlanta Municipal Court system, Seabaugh entered a guilty plea on Tuesday.
However, the details of the plea were not immediately available.
Channel 2 Action News has reached out to the Atlanta Municipal Court Clerk and Rep. Seabaugh for further detail and comment and is waiting for their responses.
