State Rep. Phillip Frye has been charged with drunk driving.

The Spruce Pine Republican told the Asheville Citizen-Times that he would plead guilty to the charge after hitting a parked car near his home Monday.

When he was arrested, his blood alcohol content was 0.18, more than twice the legal limit.

"I am extremely sorry this event happened," Frye wrote in a statement. "It was the first time in my life, and I assure you it will be the last."

He said he would attend alcohol treatment.

That must have been some serious egg nog.

How many times did Rep. Frye vote to increase the penalty for DWI?
