Powerful Republican lawmaker detained at Virginia airport after mixing sedative with alcohol

A powerful House Republican was detained at an airport just outside of Washington, DC after mixing a sedative and alcohol before a flight.

Texas Representative Michael McCaul, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was detained by officials at Dulles International Airport on November 4. An airport official confirmed to NBC News that an officer detained McCaul around 9 p.m. and charged him with being drunk in public before releasing him that evening to a driver

McCaul himself confirmed the incident, explaining he mixed the sedative Ambien with alcohol before his flight.

"Two weekends ago, I made a mistake—one for which I take full responsibility. I missed a flight to Texas and found myself disoriented in the airport,” McCaul said in a statement. “This was the result of a poor decision I made to mix an Ambien—which I took in order to sleep on the upcoming flight—with some alcohol.”
