CLAYTON — Longtime sports broadcaster Dan McLaughlin has pleaded guilty to a felony offense of driving while intoxicated, about two months after his BMW was observed weaving on a road near Creve Coeur.
The former television play-by-play voice of the St. Louis Cardinals pleaded guilty on Thursday and was referred to treatment court, which requires people to remain sober and participate in support groups, according to court records.
McLaughlin was pulled over around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, on Interstate 270 near Ladue Road by a Creve Coeur police officer who observed slurred speech, glassy eyes and the smell of "intoxicants" on his breath, charges say.
