Top Kansas Democrat call for representative to step down after arrest on suspicion of DUI
Fox News
The Democratic leader of the Kansas House of Representatives called on Rep. Aaron Coleman to step down after his colleague's arrest Saturday for allegedly driving under the influence.
"For the sake of the state of Kansas, his constituents, and himself, he should resign and concentrate on getting the help he badly needs," the statement read. "The stress of the legislature is not a healthy environment for someone in this mental state."
Fox 4 KC reported that Coleman has served in the statehouse for a year. He was nabbed on Saturday at about 1 a.m. on Interstate 70, the Kansas City Star reported. The 21-year-old had been out on bond from an arrest in October on allegations of misdemeanor battery. He allegedly threatened to attack his grandfather and is accused of hitting and spitting on his brother, the paper reported.
