California State Sen. Dave Min, a Democrat from Irvine, is scheduled for his first court appearance following a drunk driving arrest this week.

The senator and congressional candidate—favored by the Democratic Party to replace outgoing Rep. Katie Porter—is scheduled to appear for an arraignment on July 24 in Sacramento Superior Court, according to the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office.

The district attorney’s office was unable to disclose what charges the senator might face after his May 2 arrest.

“We received the case. It’s under review,” District Attorney spokeswoman Shelly Orio told The Epoch Times.

Min, 47, was arrested for driving under the influence at around 10:50 p.m. Tuesday in Sacramento. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), Min was stopped for not having headlights on near the corner of Broadway and Riverside Boulevard, next to the city’s historic cemetery.

The CHP officers also observed his Toyota Camry run a red light, according to a report provided to The Epoch Times.
