Washington City Councilman Matt Staniszewski was back in court on Wednesday for a preliminary hearing on multiple charges in Bedford County. Staniszewski attorney, Sean Logue, says Staniszewski waived his case to court on a drunk driving charge, along with summary level offenses that include careless driving and reckless driving. Logue says he’ll be meeting with the Bedford County District Attorney for a pre-trial conference to talk about a potential plea. The current charges stem from an incident earlier this year when he was arrested by state police on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Troopers said he hit a concrete median barrier while traveling east on the turnpike near Bedford and his disabled SUV was partially blocking the highway’s left lane. Police say his blood-alcohol level registered .267% – more than three times the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle in Pennsylvania. At the time of his arrest, Staniszewski was just eight days away from complete a sentence of six months probation from a previous drunk driving conviction in Washington in 2019. Following his probation violation, Staniszewski was in the Washington County Jail for nearly two months before being released to into a thirty-day inpatient treatment program.
