A politically connected city truck driver on Wednesday took unpaid family medical leave in the wake of her arrest three weeks ago on a DUI charge, officials said.

A trooper found Denise Alcantar slumped over the wheel of her sports utility vehicle shortly after 1 a.m. on April 2 along the Kennedy Expressway, a state police spokesman said.

Alcantar had not reported to work for a week after her arrest, then used vacation time until going on leave, said Matt Smith, a spokesman for the Department of Streets and Sanitation.

Alcantar was a key witness at the federal trial that resulted in the hiring fraud conviction of Mayor Richard Daley’s former Streets and Sanitation commissioner, Al Sanchez.
