Cervantes' toxicology report shows no measurable amount of drugs, alcohol
Video Above: State Senator Sabrina Cervantes speaks out on DUI allegations
Cervantes was cited in Sacramento last Monday for suspicion of DUI after being involved in a car crash.
'We have reviewed all the submitted evidence, including police reports, witness statements, and laboratory results,' office officials said. ' Based on our ethical duty and the burden of proof in a criminal trial, the Sacramento County DA's Office declines to file any charges in this case.'
Cervantes made a statement after the allegations, claiming her innocence and accusing Sacramento Police Department officers of accosting her.
The Public Information Officer for SPD claims there were no indications Cervantes was accosted after reviewing officers' body camera footage.
In a statement released by SPD, officials claim that Cervantes declined to perform a Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, after officers observed signs of intoxication from the senator.
She then agreed to voluntarily provide a blood sample, however, the warrant was already underway.
FOX40 is awaiting to receive a statement from Cervantes.

Why Friedrich Merz cannot fully celebrate his first 100 days as German chancellor
The international agenda has hardly given German Chancellor Friedrich Merz a breather this summer. Almost every day, Germany's position has to be coordinated with its European partners - such as on Russia's war on Ukraine or Israel's against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Most recently, Friedrich Merz was even heavily criticised within his own ranks. Apparently, the Chancellor had not discussed the decision to suspend the export of weapons that Israel could use in the war in Gaza with his sister party, the CSU. The majority of people in Germany are in favour of limiting arms exports to Israel, which the SPD had also spoken out in favour of, but the single-handed decision caused displeasure. The Left and the Greens criticised Merz's partial ban on arms exports as being "too little, too late" - in view of the suffering of the people in the Gaza Strip. Now - days after the decision - Friedrich Merz wants to justify it in a TV interview on public broadcaster ARD's Tagesschau programme. Following fierce criticism from some conservative members of parliament, Merz's foreign policy adviser Günter Sautter was also due to hold a video call with CDU and CSU foreign policy experts this Sunday in order to calm the waters. Friedrich Merz is not only Federal Chancellor, but has also been Chairman of the CDU since 2022. Only 28 % satisfied with the government in recent poll The polls do not look good for the black-red coalition. According to the ARD Deutschlandtrend , 69 per cent of respondents in Germany are dissatisfied with the work of the federal government. Only 28 per cent are satisfied in the Infratest-Dimap survey. This is hardly surprising to seasoned pundits: a majority of Germans (61%) do not consider the new chancellor's communication style to be convincing, with only 34% viewing it positively. In addition, only 26% cent of respondents believe that Merz is someone who can be trusted. The summer break in Berlin had already officially begun when the federal government launched more than 20 bills at its meeting on 6 August: from the pension package to new regulations on small savings, on gas prices and on the Germany Ticket for rail and other public transport. Not focussing enough on people's concerns? The coalition dispute over the appointment of new judges to the Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe has stirred up the political scene in Berlin. The failure of CDU parliamentary group leader Jens Spahn to keep his own ranks together raised doubts about his suitability for the post. According to reports, the criticism of the SPD's proposed judge Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf was also orchestrated by right-wing populist circles on social media. Minister of State for Culture Wolfram Weimer now wants to ban gendering (i.e. asterisks or other special characters for female persons) not only in his ministry, but also in public broadcasting. This has not only been criticised by the media; many in Germany consider the policy of paternalism to be a concept of the past. In times of Donald Trump's punitive tariffs, people are worried about the economy in Germany and their personal financial situation. The positive effects of the announced massive investments in infrastructure and digitalisation have yet to materialise. It's not only the construction work at Deutsche Bahn that is taking years, seems to be the general impression.

Democratic lawmaker honors trans athlete who won California girls track and field state titles
California state Sen. Sabrina Cervantes honored transgender high school athlete AB Hernandez after Hernandez won multiple girls state titles at the end of May. The trans athlete, who competes for Jurupa Valley High School in Riverside County, California, was the subject of a ceremony at the Jurupa City Council Friday where the athlete was recognized for winning first place in the girls high jump and triple jump May 31. Cervantes was present to give Hernandez two certificates on behalf of the California state senate and delivered a speech recognizing the athlete's championships. "We just want to take a moment this evening to recognize AB Hernandez for their grit, their passion and their dedication to this sport," Cervantes said. "I am just so proud to know that you continue to prevail despite all the noise out there, and you're focused on your goals and your dreams and your aspirations. We know how difficult it is to get to that level, to be an athlete at that level, and so, again, your dedication and passion is an inspiration to so many." No female athletes who competed in the girls state track and field championship were honored at the event Friday. Hernandez's participation in the state finals in May became the focus of immense political debate after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social in the days leading up to the competition warning the state not to allow trans athletes to compete. The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) made a series of sweeping rule changes in the days leading up to the event to ensure any females who finished behind a biological male would be appropriately rewarded a medal based on where they placed among female competitors. During the medal ceremonies for the three events, the female competitors who finished one spot behind Hernandez had to stand next to the trans athlete on the podium. Even with the rule changes, Hernandez's presence in the girls' competition prompted controversy and a heavy protest presence throughout the weekend. A plane flying a banner that said "No Boys in Girls' Sports!" passed over the stadium. Conflicting protests plagued the championship with pro-LGBTQ protesters and pro-female protesters wielding signs, flags and clothing expressing their respective messaging. The conflict between the protesters at one point became violent, when an LGBTQ protester allegedly struck local conservative activist Josh Fulfer with a flag pole. Police records obtained by Fox News Digital show a male was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon other than a gun, obstructing a public officer and vandalism. The U.S. Department of Justice launched a lawsuit against the CIF and the California Department of Education for allegedly violating Title IX with its polices that allow males to compete in girls sports. The DOJ's lawsuit is asking for an injunction on the state's policy allowing males to compete against females in sports. California's policies "eviscerate equal athletic opportunities for girls … they also require girls to share intimate spaces, such as locker rooms, with boys, causing a hostile educational environment that denies girls educational opportunities," the lawsuit said. It will be the second legal battle the DOJ is fighting over the issue, having launched a similar one against Maine in April.
