PRINCETON: SENATE LEADER'S SON ARRESTED
The son of the Senate majority leader, Bill Frist, faces drunken driving and related charges after being arrested early on Wednesday. The son, William Harrison Frist Jr., was pulled over at 1:35 a.m. for passing illegally and failed a balance test, the police said. He was given a blood alcohol test that showed his level to be over the legal limit of 0.08 percent. Mr. Frist, 21, a Princeton University sophomore, was driving a sport utility vehicle when he was stopped. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 24. Senator Frist, a Tennessee Republican, is a 1974 Princeton alumnus and in 1998 supported a bill lowering the legal blood alcohol limit from 0.10 percent to 0 .08 percent. (AP)
