Secret Service agent sentenced on drunk driving charges in Winneshiek County

That Secret Service agent who got arrested for drunk driving in Decorah while stationed here for President Barack Obama's visit in August has entered a no contest plea to the charge.

40-year-old Daniel Valencia entered an "Alford plea" to the charge, which is a legal procedure under which someone does not admit to the crime but agrees to be sentenced.

The judge in the case sentenced Valencia to two days in jail--with credit for the two days he spent in jail after his arrest.  But while Valencia won't spend additional time in jail, he will be required to successfully complete a State of Iowa weekend alcohol control program.  He also was fined $1,250 and all other applicable fees and surcharges, including court costs.
