John McGee, 38, Caldwell.State Sen. John McGee, R-Caldwell, was arrested overnight by Ada County Sheriff's deputies for misdemeanor drunken driving and felony grand theft.

McGee, 38, was being held in the Ada County Jail on Sunday. Officials said he'd make an initial court appearance Monday afternoon.

According to Sgt. Carlos De Leon with the Ada County Sheriff's Office, events unfolded like this:

McGee began drinking at a golf course at about 10 p.m. Saturday night. At some point, McGee left the clubhouse on foot and walked for a distance, eventually coming upon a parked Ford Excursion with a 20-foot travel trailer near the Muir Woods Subdivision in Southeast Boise.

The keys were in the vehicle and McGee drove away about 2:20 a.m. Sunday. McGee pulled the vehicle into a long driveway in the subdivision near Overland and Victory roads and Five Mile Road, in an attempt to turn around. The Excursion and travel trailer were jack-knifed in the home's yard.

Two kids in the house were watching McGee's activities. They told officials he exited the vehicle, walked up and down the street a few times, got in the back of the Excursion and went to sleep. The kids called police.

Deputies arrive on scene at 3 a.m. and found McGee in the truck. McGee told deputies he was headed to Jackpot. McGee was transported to the Ada County Jail where he registered a blood alcohol content of .15 on a breath test, nearly twice the legal limit of .08. He was booked into the jail at 4:27 a.m. Sunday.

McGee has served as a Senator for Idaho's 10th district since 2004. He was elected Senate Majority Caucus Chairman in December, leaving chairmanship of Transportation, where he championed Gov. Otter's failed efforts to raise fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees for transportation spending. McGee was also a key player in getting GARVEE bonds approved year after year.

A former aide to Gov. Kempthorne, McGee is frequently mentioned as candidate for higher office, including governor. He considered run for 1st Congressional District in 2010, but took a pass, saying he was focused on raising his young family. He is also the chairman of the Canyon County GOP.

I hate tax and spend Republicans, too. It's never surprising to me when liberals in either party have other fatal flaws. He could have killed someone. What if someone had been in the trailer and he crashed it? And he obviously made enough racket to wake up the kids inside a house in the wee hours of a Sunday / Monday morning...

I think he would have survived the DUI charge, but that grand theft thingee kinda is tough on the resume.
