A north-central Kansas lawmaker has been arrested in Topeka on suspicion of drunken driving.
Topeka police said Tuesday that officers stopped Republican Rep. Suzi Carlson of Clay Center at about 9 p.m. Monday a few blocks south and west of the Statehouse.
They said testing showed that Carlson was operating her vehicle under the influence of alcohol. An online log shows that the 69-year-old Carlson spent about three hours in the Shawnee County jail before being released on $1,000 bond at 2:15 a.m. Tuesday.
She has an appearance scheduled for March 1 in Shawnee County District Court. She has served in the House since 2019.
