Idaho Sen. John McGee spent Father’s Day in the Ada County Jail.

He was arrested on charges of grand theft and drunken driving after what witnesses said was bizarre behavior and statements early Sunday morning.

It remains unclear what effect the incident will have on his promising political career.

McGee is embarrassed by his arrest, his attorney, Scott McKay, told The Associated Press late Sunday. McGee is confident in the justice system and will handle the situation responsibly, McKay said.

Idaho Senate Pro Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, urged caution Sunday afternoon. “We really don't know the circumstances,” Hill said. “We need to hear both sides. Our concern right now is for Senator McGee and his wife and children and the effect this may have on their family.” McGee, 38, was scheduled to make an initial court appearance Monday afternoon.
