| Description | State Rep. David Levdansky faces charges of drunken driving and other traffic violations in connection with a traffic stop in Rostraver Township.
Township police Chief Greg Resetar said Levdansky's 2002 Ford Explorer was stopped for several traffic violations at 3:17 a.m. Feb. 28 on Route 201 at the intersection of Finley Road.
Levdansky, a Democrat from Elizabeth, Allegheny County, showed "prominent signs of intoxication," according to the criminal complaint, including red, bloodshot eyes; slurred speech; poor coordination, and poor balance.
The criminal complaint stated Levdansky's blood-alcohol content registered at 0.16 percent. A person is considered legally drunk in Pennsylvania at 0.08.
Resetar said Levdansky, 49, of 5118 Dorris Drive, admitted to having four drinks. The state representative failed a series of field sobriety tests and was taken to Mon Valley Hospital, Carroll Township, where he consented to a blood-alcohol test.
Levdansky was charged with driving under the influence, driving in a turning lane, running a red light and failing to use a turn signal. |
