An Oct. 9 arraignment date is set for the recently appointed Metropolitan Archbishop of San Francisco, who was pulled over last week near San Diego State University for allegedly driving drunk, the City Attorney’s Office announced Friday.
Salvatore Joseph Cordileone, 56, was arrested about 12:30 a.m. Aug. 25 at a checkpoint in the 5100 block of College Avenue, according to San Diego police Officer Mark McCullough.
Cordileone served as associate pastor at St. Martin of Tours in La Mesa in the 1980s.
Cordileone – one of 11 arrested at the checkpoint – failed a field sobriety test, then consented to an optional preliminary alcohol screening device which measured a blood-alcohol level higher than the legal limit of .08 percent, McCullough said.
