(02-14) 04:00 PST Rancho Santa Margarita, Orange County --
At a restaurant only a block from the intersection where his life changed forever, Keough, a 1978 All-Star pitcher for the A's, spoke matter-of-factly about his personal and legal troubles over the past 10 months. He has not had an easy time of it since that night in April when, after a family argument, he had too much to drink and got in his car.
On April 4, 2005, at about 10 p.m., Keough rear-ended another vehicle at a red light on Santa Margarita Parkway in this southeast Orange County town, near his home in Coto de Caza. The car he struck rolled into a pedestrian walking his bicycle across the street. Enrique Torres-Figueroa was briefly hospitalized with a knee injury.
Making matters worse, Keough wandered away after the accident. He said he did not flee the scene, as some reports indicated, but he was so disoriented, he walked toward some nearby shops where he was tracked down by police officers. His blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Keough, 50, eventually pled guilty to the felony charges. While his case was going through the court system, he was receiving help for binge drinking. He voluntarily checked himself into the Betty Ford Clinic for a month, and followed that with five months of an outpatient program, Sober Living by the Sea, in Newport Beach.
