堪萨斯州前众议员莫恩因两次酒驾被暂停律师执业资格一年 酒精浓度最高0.365

堪萨斯州最高法院裁定,前州众议员卡尔·莫恩因两次酒驾被暂停律师执业资格一年。法院11月6日作出的裁决即日起生效,莫恩还须通过恢复执业听证才能重获执照。莫恩是威奇托地区的共和党人,2024年两次酒驾被定罪:3月在托皮卡被拦下,血液酒精浓度为0.22;5月在塞奇威克县驾车撞上电线杆,血液酒精浓度高达0.365,远超0.08的法定上限。两案中,警方记录显示,莫恩先在家中饮酒,又与朋友在埃尔多拉多继续饮酒,随后驾车前往托皮卡参加立法周活动。
莫恩的律师执照自2024年起已被暂停,起因是另一起涉及2016年塞奇威克县谋杀与酒驾案的利益冲突,最高法院最新裁决同时叫停了原定就首次停牌举行的恢复听证。莫恩今年8月在第100选区众议员共和党初选中落败,该席位由当选保险专员丹·霍金斯持有。他已于2025年完成两起酒驾案的法院缓刑。莫恩本人表示,他对自己的错误负责。
Former Kansas Rep. Maughan's Law License Suspended for One Year Over Two DUIs; Highest Blood Alcohol Level 0.365
The Kansas Supreme Court ruled that former state Rep. Carl Maughan's license to practice law will be suspended for one year over two DUI convictions. The ruling, issued Nov. 6, takes effect immediately, and Maughan must also pass a reinstatement hearing before he can regain his license. Maughan, a Republican from the Wichita area, was convicted of DUI twice in 2024: in March he was stopped in Topeka with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.22, and in May he crashed into a utility pole in Sedgwick County with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.365, far above the legal limit of 0.08. In both cases, police records show Maughan first drank at home and then continued drinking with friends in El Dorado before driving to Topeka to attend legislative week events. Maughan's
law license has been suspended since 2024, stemming from a separate conflict of interest involving a 2016 Sedgwick County murder and DUI case, and the Supreme Court's latest ruling also halted a reinstatement hearing that had been scheduled on the first suspension. Maughan lost the Republican primary for the 100th District House seat in August of this year; the seat is held by Dan Hawkins, who was elected insurance commissioner. He completed court-ordered probation for the two DUI cases in 2025. Maughan said he takes responsibility for his mistakes.
