GEORGETOWN — A retiring Republican lawmaker was cleared Monday of a misdemeanor drunken-driving charge, a visiting judge said.
Judge Chuck Miller dismissed the case against Rep. Mike Krusee after prosecutors cited insufficient evidence, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
Krusee was arrested in April after a trooper pulled him over for driving erratically, according to the arrest affidavit.
Krusee's attorney, Jason Nassour, has said Krusee only had one glass of wine.
Krusee carried and passed legislation in 2003 that created the driver responsibility program to help fund the Texas Mobility Fund. That program included a number of surcharges for driving offenses, including $1,000 for a first conviction of driving while intoxicated.
