Black-cowboy-hat-wearing P.D. cited for DUI

They might have his driver's license, but they'll never take his style:

A longtime Cass County public defender was arrested this weekend on suspicion of drunken driving. A Highway Patrol officer stopped Steven Mottinger about 10:30 p.m. Saturday about two miles east of Casselton, N.D. Recognizable for the black cowboy hat he often wears to the courthouse, Mottinger began public defense work in 1983.

Clint Black, Tim McGraw, Clay Walker and Kenny Chesney are planning a benefit concert for his legal defense fund.
