A lobbyist who has worked for the Prince George's County Council and the sheriff's office pleaded guilty Tuesday to driving under the influence, the latest in a string of similar charges against him dating back to the early 1990s.
David A. Jacobs, of Mitchellville, represented the County Council, sheriff's office, the Town of Colmar Manor and a developer in the last state legislative session. On April 29, he lost control of his sport utility vehicle, collided with a guard rail and another vehicle, and ended up on the median of the road, authorities said.
After pleading guilty in Prince George's District Court on Tuesday, he was handcuffed and remanded to the Calvert County Detention Center. He is due back in court Nov. 18. Jacobs is married to the county school board chairwoman, Verjeana M. Jacobs (At Large).
A spokeswoman for the County Council said David Jacobs's contract with the body expired April 15, and it has not been decided whether he will be hired next year.
