Drunk Driving Conviction

Pabon was arrested for drunk driving on March 17, 2016 — St. Patrick's Day — in downtown Denver. During the course of the arrest, Pabon attempted to use his influence as an elected official to get out of the situation. He asked the Denver Police officer who pulled him over to call the city attorney or a police supervisor, but the officer refused.

In July 2016, Pabon pleaded guilty and received a light sentence. His sentence included a year of probation, attendance at a victim-impact panel, alcohol education/treatment, monitoring of sobriety, and a small fine.
