Original Article Councilman is arrested on DUI charge Michael Ferraresi The Arizona Republic Jul. 8, 2005 12:00 AM FOUNTAIN HILLS - Fountain Hills Town Councilman Keith McMahan has been arrested on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol. McMahan, 75, was cited for DUI after a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputy observed him June 28 driving his Pontiac Grand Am erratically in downtown Fountain Hills. The councilman's blood-alcohol content was reportedly 0.126 percent to 0.132 percent, according to the incident report. To be a violation of the law in Arizona, blood-alcohol content must be 0.08 percent or higher. McMahan, who was not jailed, told the arresting officer he drank four bourbon cocktails and one beer. He was arrested at 10 p.m. The councilman, elected in a close race in 2003, said he was discussing town issues with constituents at the TapHouse bar in Fountain Hills the night of his arrest. "They were asking me about the downtown development and the senior center," McMahan said. "We got to chatting, then the free drinks came." He is scheduled to appear in court at an undetermined date. He was cited and released upon written agreement to appear in court. McMahan handed the arresting deputy a credit card and the business card of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio before he was given field sobriety tests, according to the incident report.
