Former Kansas Senate Honcho Cuts Wrong Way Drunk Driving Deal

Broke-ass plebs might not earn such a considerate deal but this so-called conservative walks away from a drunk driving scandal with a wrist slap.

Moreover . . .

Lost in all the "reporting" is the scathing allegation from a Kansas Trooper that the sauced politico called him "donut boy' during the arrest. 

Here's the postscript . . .

Republican state Sen. Gene Suellentrop pleads guilty to two misdemeanors and avoids a felony conviction for charges of drunk driving, going the wrong way on I-70 and evading police. 

Suellentrop pleaded no contest to DUI Class B misdemeanor and reckless driving. The court ruled the former leader was guilty on both counts. The court sentenced him to a maximum of six months in jail on count two and a $750 fine. That sentence was suspended, however, Suellentrop must serve 48 hours consecutively in the Shawnee County Jail. He was also sentenced to 90 days and a $25 fine, which was suspended and given six months probation.

He was ordered to complete 8 therapy sessions and $136 in court costs, as well as a $22 surcharge, and a $60 probation fee.

Suellentrop will be scheduled for jail time Nov. 18.
