Posted: Mar 29, 2021 / 10:22 AM CDTUpdated: Mar 29, 2021 / 04:42 PM CDTTOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop was driving drunk when he went 90 miles per hour fleeing law enforcement the wrong way on highways through Topeka, according to the criminal complaint released Monday in Suellentrop’s new arrest charges.The complaint shows Shawnee County Assistant District Attorney Kevin S. Keatley list the charges with descriptions of how Suellentrop broke the law. It also lists 13 witnesses whose testimony could be used in his trial, including authorities involved in the March 16 incident, Stormont Vail Hospital personnel, Topeka Fire Department staff and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab team.Suellentrop is facing charges including:Capitol Police, which serve as a part of the Kansas Highway Patrol, arrested Suellentrop March 16 after what the KHP called a short pursuit. A Shawnee County judge released Suellentrop hours later in his first hearing.The incident report doesn’t specify Suellentrop’s alcohol concentration test results from the night of the arrest but did say “the alcohol concentration in the offender’s blood or breath, as measured within three hours of the time of operating or attempting to operate a vehicle, is .08 or more.”On Suellentrop’s felony charge of fleeing or attempting to elude police, the affidavit says he dodged two different attempts by law enforcement to stop his car, damaged property, and ultimately ended the chase in a car crash. KSNT News obtained driver phone calls and police radio chatter from Shawnee County Dispatch that showed authorities preparing to use stop spikes to blow out Suellentrop’s tires.Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay filed the five formal charges Friday against Suellentrop, who turned himself in to the Shawnee County Department of Corrections around 5 p.m. His bond was set at $5,000, and the Senate Majority leader paid it and walked out of the jail around 6:40 p.m. the same night.The criminal complaint also gave a confirmed number for the speeding infraction Suellentrop faces: 90 miles per hour in a 65 mile per hour zone.View the complaint, which lists details from Keatley regarding Suellentrop’s charges, below:Thanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Now✕× Close Ad
