<p>An Indiana mayor has admitted to drinking and driving following a car accident on Saturday night, according to a statement from his office.</p>
<p>Fort Wayne Democratic Mayor Tom Henry&#8217;s office issued the statement on Twitter after <a href="https://www.wane.com/top-stories/fort-wayne-mayor-tom-henry-arrested-for-owi-sunday-jail-staff-says/">reportedly</a> being booked in the Allen County Jail. He was released Sunday morning on his own recognizance.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to apologize to the residents of Fort Wayne and my family for the poor decision I made to get behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking at a local function. I accept full responsibility for my actions,&#8221; the statement said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m relieved that no one was hurt in this incident. The Fort Wayne Police Department handled this situation with professionalism and followed all of the correct procedures and protocols,&#8221; Henry added.</p>
<p>Henry also <a href="https://www.wane.com/top-stories/fort-wayne-mayor-tom-henry-arrested-for-owi-sunday-jail-staff-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">addressed media</a> on Sunday to express his sorrow and embarrassment.</p>
<p>“I am terribly embarrassed by the poor decision making that occurred last evening,” Henry said in a media briefing. “I am sorry that I put our police department in that situation last evening. I knew better… I will be held accountable for those actions in future legal proceedings. I respect our legal process, and I will adhere to decisions made by our court, and I will accept those consequences.”</p>
<p>The mayor noted he would not address additional details due to the ongoing investigation.</p>
<p>“As your mayor, I will not hide from my actions, nor will I make excuses. But today I ask that you please respect my inability to speak to the facts of the matter until I am fairly and appropriately adjudicated,” Henry said.</p>
<p>Fort Wayne Police Department Information Officer Sergeant Jeremy Webb noted that no police records would be shared for the ongoing investigation, according to a WANE-TV report.</p>
<p>John Perlich, a spokesman for Henry, also released a <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/indiana-mayor-admits-drinking-driving-involved-car-crash-rcna51394" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to NBC News regarding the incident.</p>
<p>“Mayor Tom Henry was involved in a motor vehicle crash late Saturday,&#8221; Perlich told the outlet. &#8220;Upon arrival, officers determined that the Mayor appeared to be impaired. After tests were conducted, that was confirmed.”</p>
<p>Henry is currently running for a fifth mayoral term in 2023 against Republican Tom Didier, a current Fort Wayne city council member.</p>
<p>“I have known the Henry family for much of my life,&#8221; Didier <a href="https://www.wane.com/top-stories/fort-wayne-mayor-tom-henry-arrested-for-owi-sunday-jail-staff-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> in a statement following the mayor&#8217;s apology. &#8220;Cindy Henry actually was one of the first people to encourage me to run for public office. These relationships go beyond politics. I would encourage everyone to pray for them and all those involved in this accident and I hope that no one was seriously harmed.&#8221;</p>
