Police in San Diego say Bishop Salvatore Cordileone was arrested over the weekend for driving under the influence.
Police say it happened in San Diego’s College District just before 12:30 Saturday morning.
Bishop Cordileone is currently bishop of Oakland — a post he’s held since 2009.
Last month Pope Benedict chose Bishop Cordileone to become archbishop of San Francisco — replacing retiring Archbishop George Niederaur.
He’s scheduled to assume the new post in October.
