Based on your question, it is unclear who disclosed the information or at what point in the legal process it was disclosed, so I cannot answer your question. While a case is pending final resolution after the initial summons has been served, the police record and the court record remain confidential. Once a case is fully resolved the court file becomes a public record, and I believe that the police record does too. The test result was probably released specifically because you are an elected official. There are public relations firms that help deal with these issues, so you may wish to contact one of them to see if they can do anything for you. Good luck.
