MARQUETTE, MI-- State Representative John Kivela has been arrested for drunken driving.
In a statement the Marquette Democrat said Monday night he was arrested for driving under the influence just outside Lansing.
“I am truly sorry to my wife, family, and constituents for letting them down,” the statement read. “I have battled with alcoholism for most of my adult life. My dependence on alcohol has become a problem, and I plan to seek treatment immediately.”
Kivela serves the 109th District. The former mayor of Marquette was elected to the House in 2012.
