LAWRENCE, Kan. — A 21-year-old Kansas lawmaker has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving his second arrest in less than a month.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says a trooper arrested Aaron Coleman around 1 a.m. Saturday on Interstate 70 near Lawrence and taken to the Douglas County Jail, where he bonded out hours later. At the time of the arrest, Coleman was already out on bond from an Oct. 30 domestic battery arrest following a fight with his brother.
The Kansas City, Kansas, Democrat has been embroiled in controversy since before he took office after being elected in 2020 and has acknowledged past abuses against girls and young women.
