More trouble for a Minnesota DFL State Senator.
State Senator Tou Xiong (Maplewood) was arrested early Thursday morning on suspicion of driving while impaired and booked into the Ramsey County Jail.
This arrest follows a 2022 arrest in Blaine, and a subsequent guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of driving while impaired.
Xiong was give one year of probation for that incident.
In a statement Thursday, Xiong acknowledged the arrest and apologized, adding that he's started the work of talking to his family and Senate colleagues about the situation.
