Kansas lawmaker arrested on suspicion of DUI, the fourth arrested in less than a year

Kansas Rep. Suzi Carlson was arrested Monday night on suspicion of driving under the influence and briefly booked into jail, according to law enforcement records.

The Clay Center Republican was booked into the Shawnee County Detention Center at 11 p.m. and released 2:15 a.m. A daily booking log lists two warrants, one for a DUI of .08 or greater and another for failure to maintain a single lane. Bond amounts of $1,000 are listed for both allegations.

Carlson, a retired municipal judge, joined the Legislature in 2019. She is a rank-and-file member holding no leadership posts.

“We do not have any additional information right now, but we expect local law enforcement to provide more details once they’ve completed their review,” House Speaker Ron Ryckman, an Olathe Republican, said in a statement.
