Republican Presidential candidate Rand Paul’s 22-year-old son, William Hilton Paul, was cited for driving under the influence after a crash in Lexington, Kentucky, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.

The crash happened just before noon Sunday, according to the Herald-Leader. Paul’s campaign told the newspaper he doesn’t comment on “any private matters in regards to his family.”

The incident was not the younger Paul’s first alcohol-related run in with the law. He was arrested on charges related to underage drinking incidents twice in 2013 when he was 19.

In January 2013, the then 19-year-old Paul was arrested at a North Carolina airport. According to the Herald-Leader, Paul was accused of assaulting a 22-year-old female flight attendant after consuming alcohol on the flight.

He was charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and being intoxicated and disruptive. The charges were later dismissed after he completed alcohol education classes and community service.

“Mr. Paul had no prior criminal record, and the manner in which his case was handled is consistent with how the DA’s Office handles first-time offender cases involving alcohol abuse,” said Meghan Cooke, a spokeswoman with the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office, in a statement to the Herald-Leader.
