The would-be town judge faces probable jail time.
Brian Kedik, who was elected to Edinburgh Town Judge last year but never took office, pleaded guilty Monday to felony driving while intoxicated, Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III said.
State Park Police arrested Kedik, 33, on Nov. 11 on the Avenue of the Pines in the Saratoga Spa State Park. He had been driving a 2001 Cadillac 43 mph in a 25 mph zone, and was charged with speeding, driving with a suspended license and DWI for operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.17 percent, Murphy said.
Kedik faced a felony because he was charged with a prior misdemeanor last year in Fulton County, Murphy said. Sentencing is set for July 16.
A judge is expected to impose a sentence of five days in the Saratoga County jail, five years of probationary supervision, fines and surcharges totaling $1,295, Murphy said.
Kedik was convicted of larceny last month in Schenectady County for stealing $12,000 from his former mother-in-law.
He was elected to Edinburgh Town Judge in November, but declined the position and was never sworn in after the Nov. 11 arrest. The post was left vacant.
