San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins confirmed the conviction of Tuvshintur Ganzorig, 37, who was found guilty on charges of driving under the influence in the Richmond District, a verdict reached by a jury that highlighted the serious consequences of such unlawful actions. Facing charges of DUI (VC 21252(a)) and driving with a BAC exceeding the legal limit (VC 23152(b)), Ganzorig's conviction serves as a stark reminder of the dangers and legal repercussions associated with driving while intoxicated, according to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office . On the night of December 23, 2024, emergency responders were dispatched to Spruce Street and Geary Boulevard, where San Francisco Fire Department personnel found a Mercedes GLS450 moving westbound with Ganzorig unresponsive at the wheel and upon intervention, it became clear that there was no medical emergency but rather, an excessive consumption of alcohol was to blame, per the details shared by the District Attorney's Office . Subsequent field sobriety tests conducted by the San Francisco Police Department revealed Ganzorig's impaired state, leading to his arrest and a blood test that confirmed a BAC of 0.248, significantly over the legal limit. Ganzorig's trial saw Assistant District Attorney Sarah Quiñones lead the prosecution, supported by a team including paralegals Josh Nickchen and Raquel Paz Aleman; the successful case hinged on the thorough investigation by the San Francisco Police Department. "Driving under the influence of alcohol is a selfish and needless crime that reflects a complete disregard for the safety of others and the well-being of our community," Quiñones said, emphasizing the District Attorney's Office's dedication to prosecuting DUI offenses and its commitment to public safety, per the District Attorney's Office . Currently out on bail, Ganzorig awaits sentencing, which is set for Thursday with the District Attorney's office and community at large watching to see that justice is served.
