Sportscaster won't face DUI charges

SAN DIEGO – The City Attorney's Office will not file drunken driving charges against Kyle Kraska, sports director of KFMB-Channel 8.
Kraska was arrested March 14 after he nearly struck a police officer near his Sabre Springs home, San Diego police said.
City attorney spokeswoman Gina Coburn said that prosecutors decided not to file charges because they believe the case couldn't be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
Both the city attorney and police declined to release Kraska's blood-alcohol level.
Police said the officer was standing outside his patrol car at Angelique Street and Avonette Court about 8:20 p.m. on a juvenile runaway call when he saw a speeding car coming around the bend.
The officer said he flashed his lights and had to move out of the way so he wouldn't get hit, said police spokeswoman Mónica Muñoz. The driver, in a 2003 silver Mercedes, then accelerated and pulled into the driveway of his home nearby.
The officer followed and arrested Kraska.
