Mayor of Eagan arrested for drunken driving
EAGAN (AP) — The mayor of Eagan is accused of driving drunk and crashing into a snowbank with a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit.
Mike Maguire was arrested near his home Jan. 11 after police responded to a report of an SUV stuck in a snowbank.
A responding officer smelled alcohol and noticed Maguire had slow slurred speech and bloodshot and glassy eyes, according to a criminal complaint.
Maguire was swaying and staggering and needed assistance walking and being seated in the squad car, the complaint said.
A breath test showed a blood alcohol contents of 0.19%, officials said. He was booked into Dakota County jail.
It’s not clear if Maguire has hired an attorney.
