Georgia state Rep. Devan Seabaugh is accused of driving under the influence after authorities say he ran into a bicyclist who was riding in the bike lane of an Atlanta street.
Seabaugh faces seven charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol, and driving under the influence of drugs, Atlanta Municipal Court records show.
The Cobb County politician was arrested Thursday night in the Grant Park neighborhood of Atlanta by a Georgia State Patrol task force that targets drunken drivers.
Seabaugh, a Republican, was elected to the Georgia House in a special election in the summer of 2021, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. His district includes parts of western Cobb County and portions of Marietta and Kennesaw.
Seabaugh faces Democrat challenger Karl Gallegos in the Nov. 5 general election.

Yeah even the article says “bicyclist” while the title just says “bicycle”. Strange wording choice.
Sorry, No coffee
Oh no I meant you were right. The article clarifies it, but the title is still odd the way it only says he hit a bicycle.
Yeeeeehaaawww y’all!
Attempted manslaughter?

Maybe all cars should have breath test mechanismEdit: Eh tbh, self driving vehicles are the better cure for this
Or: ( !fuckcars@lemmy.world ) better biking infrastructure.
I don’t think I’d get very far biking while drunk.
Why not?
Balance?
As all things must be.
Well, biking while drunk is only less dangerous for others if don’t you veer into traffic…
