CHICAGO (AP) -- Authorities say the 26-year-old son of Illinois Senate President John Cullerton has been cited with driving under the influence in a vehicle registered to the state Senate.
Chicago police spokeswoman Antoinette Ursitti says Garritt M. Cullerton of Chicago was pulled over after midnight Sunday.
He had a blood-alcohol level higher than Illinois' legal limit of 0.08.
Ursitti says Cullerton was cited with DUI, negligent driving and improper lane usage.
He's due in court on May 26.
John Cullerton's spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon says the vehicle was assigned to the senator for official business and was used by his son without his authorization.
She says the senator is disappointed and will work to ensure it won't happen again.
Messages left Sunday at phone listings for Garritt Cullerton were not immediately returned.
