A Kansas lawmaker 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 has not been completed.
Rep. Aaron Coleman, 21, (D-Kansas City), 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 brother, 18.
