Idaho Republican Sen. Michael Crapo has pleaded guilty to drunken driving charge in a Virginia court.

Crapo pleaded guilty to a first-offense DWI on Friday. The DWI charge is a misdemeanor under Virginia law. Prosecutors dropped a charge of failing to obey a traffic signal.

Crapo received a $250 fine and a 12-month suspension of his driver's license. He will also be required to complete an alcohol safety program. As long as he remains on good behavior he will not have to serve a 180 day suspended jail sentence.

Police say Crapo was pulled over for running a red light and registered a blood alcohol level above the legal limit.

Crapo issued a statement shortly after his Dec. 23 arrest apologizing for his actions.

The popular Dirty Dash opened registration today for the 2013 “race” to be held at Riverside State Park on July 13.

Loyalty registration, which runs until Jan. 30, costs only $35. After that the price to sign up steadily rises the closer we get to the event.

“Resolve to make 2013 your dirtiest yet and we guarantee to make that happen for you in one unforgettable morning of feasting on filth, groveling through grime, delighting in dirt, and wallowing in mud rather than self-pity,” a news release from Dirty Dash said.

Troopers put their lives on the line every day, but now one Idaho state trooper needs help saving his life.

Sgt. Kevin Bennett has been an ISP trooper for 15 years and he is now battling cancer. When his co-workers found out about the diagnosis, there was no question he would do it alone.

"He's really involved in his church, loves kids and overall loves working for the state police," said Trooper Chris Donahue.

Bennett was diagnosed with bone cancer a few months ago, and with tough treatment comes big bills.

Donahue donated a shotgun to raffle off.

"It was handed down from my dad and his uncle. It's a valuable item. I just decided 'you know what, I want to donate that and try to get some money and generate so we can help Kevin out,'" said Donahue.

Soon after Donahue's donation, Ed Santos of Center Target Sports heard about the the raffle and donated a $600 handgun.

"He's an officer in need and we're going to do everything we can to help provide that support," said Santos.

Another anonymous donor also gave a revolver.
