Rep. Mike Krusee thrown in the DUI 'slammer'!

1 May 2008

One of Gov. Perry and Speaker Craddick's "faired-haired boy" lieutenants for toll roads, Mike Krusee, finally screwed-up last night and was thrown in jail for DUI!

"What goes around, comes around."

What's even more interesting and absurd is that Krusee had written a bill in 2003 for the "driver responsibiltiy program".

Krusee was expected to be appointed by Gov. Perry to a Commissioner slot at TxDOT. Hopefully, since his special interest allegiances did not keep him from being consider for the position maybe this latest arrest will?

Or, will Perry once again tell police to "move on down the road and let me pass" sort of deal with Public Safety?
Time will tell.
Anyway read further to see the article on this.

State Representative Mike Krusee, R- Williamson County, was swerving between lanes in his black BMW on the frontage road of U.S. 183 Wednesday night, according to officials and an arrest affidavit.

A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper arrested and charged Krusee with driving while intoxicated. Krusee was booked into the Williamson County Jail at 11:15 p.m. Wednesday and was released at 8:55 a.m. today, officials said. His bail was set at $1,000.

Trooper Michael Scheffler wrote in the arrest affidavit that he followed Krusee down U.S. 183, after he noticed the swerving, and saw that Krusee had expired registration, according to the affidavit.

After running his plates, the trooper pulled Krusee over on Black Oak Street near Jollyville, according to the affidavit.

Scheffler noticed a strong smell of alcohol and administered a field sobriety test, which Krusee failed, states the affidavit, and Krusse admitted to drinking one glass of wine.

He refused a Breathalyzer and blood test, according to the affidavit.

Neither Krusee nor his attorney, Jason Nassour, could be immediately reached for comment.

Krusee carried and passed legislation in 2003 that created something called the “driver responsibility programâ€

Every dog has his day!!
