MADISON, Wis. — A former Madison police officer pleaded guilty to a drunken driving charge, according to court records.
Kelly A. Hoeft pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-offense operating while intoxicated with a passenger under the age of 16. A charge for operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration with a minor in the vehicle was dismissed.

Hoeft is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 7.
