Republican Indiana Sen. Mike Bohacek still driving as DUI case stalls
Indiana Sen. Mike Bohacek is still legally driving more than five months after an alleged drunken driving incident in Michigan City, and the Republican lawmaker has asked to keep his license — so long as he installs an alcohol-monitoring device in his car, according to new court documents.
The June 5 motion, filed in LaPorte Superior Court by Bohacek’s Michigan City-based attorney, David Payne, requests the installation of an ignition interlock device, or IID, as an alternative to license suspension.
Under Indiana law, courts can order such devices in lieu of suspending driving privileges when someone is charged with operating while intoxicated, if doing so would cause a hardship. Bohacek also refused a breathalyzer test during the traffic stop.
Payne argued that suspension of Bohacek’s license would impose “a substantial hardship” on the senator and his family.
