Radio Host Apoligizes For Tredyffrin DUI: Report

TREDYFFRIN, PA – The host of a Philadelphia AM radio show has apologized for his actions that led to DUI and related charges in Tredyffrin Township last year, according to Philadelphia Magazine.

Chris Stigall, host of 1210 WPHT’s morning show, issued a statement on his Dec. 9 arrest for DUI, which will likely be expunged as he has entered Chester County's accelerated rehabilitative disposition program in April this year.

Below is Stigall's statement on the incident:

There’s been talk online about my receiving a DUI last year and I’d like to take the opportunity to confirm that it did in fact happen. I made the terrible and far too common mistake of driving when I shouldn’t have been and am incredibly thankful and fortunate no one was hurt in the process. I am near completion of a diversion program for first-time offenders. During this time, I have sincerely internalized the severity of impaired driving and how it affects lives in the most tragic of ways. I apologize to anyone in the community I have disappointed. As always, I continue to commend local law enforcement who do the hard work to keep our streets safe. To my listeners, my colleagues, my friends, and our valued partners – you have my sincere guarantee you can confidently expect better from me in the future and I will demand better of myself.

Stigall, 40, of Downingtown, had a blood alcohol content between .10 and .16 when he was arrested, according to the outlet.

His license was ordered suspended, he was hit with more than $1,500 in fines, and had to perform hours of community service, court records show.

Stigall's six-month accelerated rehabilitative disposition program is set to be complete in October.
