By the Associated Press:
Legal affidavits say Kansas GOP Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop’s blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit when he was arrested while driving the wrong way on a Kansas interstate in March.
The affidavits released Thursday also say Suellentrop taunted the Kansas Highway Patrol trooper who arrested him.
Suellentrop, who represents the 27th District in Wichita, faces five charges, including driving under the influence and a felony offense of trying to elude law enforcement.
The affidavit says that while a blood test was being administered, Suellentrop called the trooper “donut boy” and said he could “take him” in a fight.
Suellentrop’s office said he would issue a statement later Thursday.
