ST. LOUIS | The son of Republican Sarah Steelman who also happens to be running her bid for U.S. Senate is seeking to make sure that a DUI arrest last month does not limit his mobility on the campaign trail.
Sam Steelman, 25, was arrested in Springfield, Mo. just before midnight Dec. 11, police said.
Steelman reportedly refused to take a blood-alcohol test, which under Missouri law automatically calls for the state to revoke his drivers license for a year.
In a court motion filed shortly after the arrest, a lawyer for Sam Steelman asked a judged for a hearing where the case could either be thrown out, or Steelman could be issued a limited hardship permit that would allow him to drive for work his mother's campaign.
