TOPEKA, KS – Kansas Representative Carl Maughan, hailing from Colwich and affiliated with the Republican Party, finds himself entangled in a web of legal troubles following his arrest earlier this year. Maughan now stands charged with driving under the influence (DUI), coupled with the serious offense of possessing a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
A perusal of court documents reveals the gravity of Maughan’s predicament, as he faces not one but two misdemeanors, in addition to two traffic infractions. Among these charges are the accusation of driving under the influence, marked as his first conviction, attributed to a combination of drugs and alcohol. Additionally, Maughan is cited for unsafe turning or stopping, alongside a failure to ensure safe passage before overtaking from a single lane.
Scheduled for June 26, Maughan’s impending court date casts a shadow over his political career and personal reputation. However, his legal woes extend beyond the realm of DUI and gun-related offenses. The Kansas Supreme Court, in a separate case, is deliberating over the potential suspension of Maughan’s law license.
This secondary case revolves around allegations of professional misconduct stemming from Maughan’s representation of a client involved in a fatal crash in Wichita back in 2016. Tragically, the crash led to the loss of two lives, prompting legal scrutiny of Maughan’s conduct during the proceedings.

During a recent hearing, Deputy Disciplinary Administrator Alice Walker elucidated the disciplinary actions against Maughan. Notably, despite initial inclinations to recommend probation, Walker cited Maughan’s failure to adhere to probationary rules, including the omission of required monthly reports since December, as grounds for reevaluation. As the legal saga unfolds, Maughan’s political future hangs in the balance, with the specter of legal repercussions looming large over his once-promising career in public service.
