A Kansas Highway Patrol official says basic information won’t be available for more than a week on its arrest of a state legislator.
Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop, (R-Wichita), was arrested early Tuesday on suspicion of driving under the influence and attempting to flee from law enforcement while driving the wrong way on a highway in Topeka.
The patrol's general counsel said Wednesday that the public portion of the arrest report would be available “on or before” March 26. Suellentrop issued a written statement saying he was stepping aside from most of his office's duties until matters involving his arrest are resolved.
