WXPI has confirmed that Meteorologist Kevin Benson is no longer with the station, but did not elaborate on the circumstances surrounding his departure. Benson was arrested and charged with three counts of drunken driving and four traffic violations in September, in connection with an incident in Washington County. Authorities say a motorist reported an erratic driver on Interstate 79 near the I-70 Interchange. A State Police Officer pulled over a vehicle a short time later in South Strabane Township that was being driven by Benson. Troopers say he had bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol. Benson’s blood-alcohol level was reported at point-three-percent and tests showed his blood also contained an inactive metabolite found in cocaine. A preliminary hearing has been set for Benson for December 20th.
