<p style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 12px 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px">Idaho Senate Republican Caucus Chairman John McGee was arraigned Monday in Idaho's 4th District Court. He faces two charges: misdemeanor drunken driving and taking a vehicle without the owner's consent, causing more than $1,000 damage, a felony.</p>
<p style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 12px 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px">The 38-year-old McGee was arrested early Sunday after police say he took the Ford Excursion and cargo trailer from the Boise home of a "complete stranger." They say a blood-alcohol test showed the four-term lawmaker had been drinking.</p>
<p style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 12px 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px">McGee made his first appearance via video. His attorney, Scott McKay, said during the hearing there are "medical explanations" for McGee's actions that would negate any criminal liability in the case. He declined to elaborate.</p>
<p style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 12px 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px">McGee's bond was set at $5,000.</p></span>
