House lawmaker busted for drunk driving
State Rep. Mike Krusee, a Republican from Round Rock, got busted late Wednesday for drunk driving, according to an on-line report from the Austin American-Statesman.
The newspaper reported that Krusee, who has authored legislation to increase fines for driving while intoxicated, was booked into the Williamson County jail at about 11:15 p.m.. The newspaper reported that he was released about eight hours later after posting a $1,000 bail, and that he could not be immediately reached for comment.
A spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety reportedly said Krusee was pulled over for driving erratically and because he had an expired registration sticker. She said that the lawmaker failed a field sobriety test and refused a Breathalyzer test.
Krusee, who is not running for re-election this year, is chair of the House Committee on Transportation.
