Ryan Crocker, shown here on Cpaitol Hill, is facing DUI and hit-and-run charges. (Alex Brandon - ASSOCIATED PRESS) Former U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker has served in some of the world?s toughest regions. Now, just weeks after retiring and returning stateside, he?s facing charges of driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident after a car crash.
The AP is reporting that Crocker was arrested on Aug. 14 in Spokane Valley after an incident in which he allegedly hit another car with the 2009 Ford Mustang convertible he was driving.
Crocker, a Spokane native, announced his retirement last month for unspecified health reasons. Most recently, he was the ambassador to Afghanistan and had previously been ambassador to Iraq, where he served under President George W. Bush during the military ?surge.? Before that, he was posted to troubled hotspots around the globe, including Pakistan, Syria, Kuwait, and Lebanon.
His lawyer, Julie Twyford, could not be reached immediately.
