A member of the Kansas House was found guilty as part of a plea deal for driving under the influence.
Carl Maughan, a Republican from Colwich which is south of Wichita, was sentenced to three months in prison in Shawnee County District Court on Sept. 27 and will serve three months for the offense of DUI.
Maughan was arrested on Mar. 5 on charges of DUI, possession of firearm, unsafe turning or stopping and failure to check for a safe passenger before passing from a single lane. Those charges were ultimately dropped as a part of the plea.
Maughan has served in the Kansas House since 2023. Following his arrest, he announced he would not seek re-election in the 90th legislative district this November.
The Kansas Supreme Court later suspended his law license.
