Columbia, Mo. – State Sen. Chuck Graham was been arrested in Columbia on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Police say the Columbia Democrat's car rear-ended a vehicle near his home late Saturday night, shoving that vehicle into a third car.

Graham was treated for minor injuries and released. The other drivers were not injured in the crash.

Graham refused to submit to a Breathalyzer exam and would not provide a blood sample.

Columbia Police Sgt. Dan Beckman said that according to a probable cause statement, Graham acknowledged consuming "a few" beers before driving.
