State Representative Candidate Arrested For Reckless Driving
KENTUCKY...
A Georgetown man who is running for a state House seat this November pleaded not guilty to reckless driving.
Ryan Quarles was arraigned Thursday morning in Fayette District Court after his arrest in Lexington on Saturday.
According to a police report Quarles was driving a black Jeep Cherokee through a parking lot and weaving between cars.
The report said Quarles showed signs of intoxication, but his blood alcohol level was below the legal limit for driving.
The 26-year-old is a Republican challenging Democratic state Rep. Charlie Hoffman in the 62nd House District.
Quarles is expected to return to court Oct. 13 for a preliminary hearing.
