George W. Bush acknowledged Thursday that in 1976 he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol near his parents' home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
Bush, who was 30 at the time, pleaded guilty, paid a $150 fine and his driving privileges were temporarily suspended in Maine.
"I'm not proud of that. I made some mistakes.
I occasionally drank too much, and I did that night. I learned my lesson." Bush said he was not jailed after the arrest.
"I told the guy (the arresting officer) I had been drinking, what do I need to do?
He said, 'here's the fine.' I paid the fine."
