Washington - Republican Senator Michael Crapo of Idaho has
been arrested in Virginia for drunk driving, police said on Sunday.
Police officials said a vehicle driven by Crapo was stopped
in the Washington suburb of Alexandria, Virginia, early on Sunday after he had
run a red light.
Crapo underwent and failed several field sobriety tests and
was taken into custody without incident, the officials said.
He was released on $1 000 bond a few hours later.
The senator is due in court on 4 January.
In a statement, Crapo said he had made a mistake, apologised
for it and promised to "deal with whatever penalty comes my way in this
matter".
