Judge sets arraignment for Rep. John Maher on DUI charge :: 08/15/2017

A Cumberland County judge on Tuesday set an arraignment for Oct. 26 for Rep. John Maher, R-Upper St. Clair, who East Pennsboro police charged with driving under the influence last month.

Maher, 54, had a blood-alcohol of at least 0.16 — twice the legal limit — when police pulled him over on June 13 following a General Assembly session, authorities said.

He was also charged with making an unsafe U-turn and driving the wrong way.

Maher has been a member of the state House of Representatives since 1997, representing parts of Allegheny and Washington counties.

Maher declined comment for this story, but sent a written statement: “I should not have been driving that night. It was a bad decision and will not happen again. During the ten weeks since, I have always accepted full responsibility and will continue to (do) so.”
