Steamboat Springs — Steamboat Springs police arrested Daniel Mulcahy early Sunday morning on misdemeanor charges of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol. Mulcahy, 36, is the project manager for Steamboat West, a potential large-scale development on at least 540 acres west of downtown Steamboat Springs.

The arrest occurred shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday on U.S. Highway 40 near Walton Creek Road. Mulcahy said police pulled him over for driving 58 mph in a 45 mph zone. Mulcahy said that although he "drank water for 2 1/2 hours before driving" and was cooperative with officers, a Breathalyzer test showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.089. Colorado's legal limit for driving is 0.08.

"I should have walked, but at the end of the day, I didn't," Mulcahy said. "I'm completely embarrassed and ashamed about it."

In March, Mulcahy and other partners in Steamboat 700, LLC, purchased the 540-acre property owned by Steve and Mary Brown for $24.6 million. The group also is under contract to purchase 160 adjoining acres.
