SACRAMENTO — An openly gay state senator who voted in support of every gay rights measure since he took office eight years ago was charged with driving under the influence on Wednesday, reportedly after leaving a Hooters restaurant in Sacramento.

Sen. Glen Morrell, a Democrat from Glendale, was spotted driving erratically at about 2 a.m. Wednesday in downtown Sacramento, officials said.

He was arrested after leaving Hooters in midtown Sacramento, according to reports. Two female passengers, who appeared to be employees of the restaurant, were also in the car.
