A ranking Bay Area California Highway Patrol official has been sentenced to two days in jail after pleading no contest to drunk driving in San Luis Obispo. John M. (Jack) Healy, 50, assistant chief of the CHP’s nine-county Golden Gate division, was driving an unmarked CHP car with three other assistant chiefs as passengers when he ran a stop sign and crashed into another car April 13 in Arroyo Grande. CHP Sgt. Jim Mattos said Healy’s punishment was greater than an average driver would receive. “(Healy) believes that is proper and we believe that is proper for the whole (CHP).
