Kansas City, KS - A Kansas state lawmaker from Wyandotte County has not been criminally charged a month after his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving, because the testing to determine whether he was under the influence or not hasn't been completed.

Rep. Aaron Coleman (D-KCK), was to have a hearing Tuesday in Douglas County District Court, but it did not occur.

A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper arrested him Nov. 27 on Interstate 70 near Lawrence. A prosecutor said in a brief report to the court that test results are pending.

Coleman also faces a domestic battery charge in neighboring Johnson County over an Oct. 30 arrest following a fight with his 18-year-old brother.
