Rep. Bill Allemand arrested for drinking and driving

Rep. Bill Allemand, R-Midwest, was arrested over the weekend and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, court records show.

A Johnson County Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled over Allemand at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday at the Millers Travel Center in Buffalo for suspicious driving, according to a police report.

After the officer found an open can of beer in the center console alongside four unopened beers and a loaded pistol on the front passenger seat, Allemand admitted to drinking two beers 15 minutes before the stop, according to the report.

The “driver also admitted that he drinks while driving for anxiety,” Deputy Caleb Campbell wrote in the report.
