A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton was arrested in Nashua, N.H., on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated the day before the Jan. 8 primary, FOX News has confirmed.

The Nashua Telegraph originally reported Saturday that adviser Sidney Blumenthal was pulled over and given a field sobriety test by a Nashua officer, who allegedly spotted him going 40 miles over the 30-mph speed limit at about 12:30 a.m. Jan. 7. The officer reportedly smelled alcohol and arrested Blumenthal following the sobriety test. He refused to take a breath test.

The adviser was bailed out of the local jail that morning.
