Hearing delayed, Corcoran to keep driver's license for now

A scheduled hearing Thursday on whether Rep. Michael Corcoran, D-St. Ann, should be allowed to keep his driver's license was pushed back to July 29.

This marks the second time hearings involving Corcoran have been delayed until after the current legislative session has concluded. The first hearing in the DWI case against Corcoran, originally scheduled for April 23 in St. Louis County Circuit Court, was postponed until May 21, six days after the legislative session comes to a close.

Corcoran's license was automatically taken away following the Feb. 6 DWI arrest, but he received a stay and has been allowed to continue driving.

News accounts of his arrest indicate Corcoran was stopped 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.
