HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — The wife of Kansas Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce claims in a court petition over her arrest for driving under the influence that she was unlawfully stopped and never refused to take a breath test.

Sarah Bruce was arrested in December on suspicion of DUI. She is charged with refusing the request of law enforcement to submit to a preliminary breath test and operating a vehicle while the alcohol concentration in her breath was .159. Kansas’ legal limit is under .08.

The Hutchinson News reports (http://bit.ly/1g0lchX ) Bruce claims in her petition in Reno County that the officer unlawfully stopped her before asking her to take the test, and a physical disability prevented her from giving a complete breath sample.

The Kansas Department of Revenue has determined law enforcement acted reasonably.
