An attorney for state Representative Bob Genetski has waived the lawmaker's arraignment on a drunken driving charge.
Ingham County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Lisa McCormick says a court date hasn't been set for Genetski, a Republican from Saugatuck in southwestern Michigan.
He was ticketed January 19 in East Lansing. McCormick says Genetski refused to take a Breathalyzer at the scene and was arrested. A blood alcohol test later was taken.
Michigan's legal limit is 0.08 percent.
He also was given a warning about excessive speed and driving on an expired license plate.
Genetski has said he refused the Breathalyzer because he believes he passed a field sobriety test.
He calls the experience "humbling." Defense attorney Mike Nichols says Genetski "still believes he was safe and sober."
