The first hearing for Rep. Michael Corcoran, D-St. Ann, charged with driving while intoxicated, is scheduled for 9 a.m. tomorrow in St. Louis County Circuit Court.
News accounts indicate Corcoran was stopped Feb. 6 by the Missouri Highway Patrol for weaving on I-70. Corcoran refused a breathalyzer test. In addition to the DWI charge, he is charged with failure to drive in a single lane, and failure to signal.
Corcoran's driver's license was taken away after his refusal to take the breathalyzer, but that action was put on hold by a St. Louis County judge. The next hearing on that issue is scheduled for Thursday, April 30.
Corcoran, who is in his fourth term as 77th District representative, has hired Paul D'Agrosa of the St. Louis firm of Wolff & D'Agrosa to defend him. D'Agrosa is one on the top DWI attorneys in St. Louis, and at one time served on the Governor's Commission on DWI and Impaired Driving.
