Kansas City Mayor pleads guilty to driving while intoxicated.

(AP) – A suburban Kansas City mayor has pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated last year. The Kansas City Star reports that Parkville Mayor Nan Johnston entered the plea in a Platte County court on Wednesday and received a suspended sentence while she serves two years of probation. A Platte County sheriff’s deputy reported stopping the 60-year-old Johnston in the early morning hours of Sept. 26 along Missouri 9 Highway after seeing her vehicle weaving on the road. Authorities say a breath test administered to Johnston gauged her blood alcohol content at 0.098, just over the .08 legal limit to drive. Johnston has been mayor of Parkville since 2014.
