WPXI-TV’s Kevin Benson won’t be returning to newscasts after he was charged with DUI last month.

Benson is no longer an employee at the news station, Channel 11 news director Scott Trabandt told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Tuesday. He declined to comment further.

Benson, 60, was charged Oct. 9 for the Sept. 20 incident that began around 5:45 p.m. when someone called 911 to report an erratic driver in a blue Ford Taurus headed north on Interstate 79 near the interchange with Interstate 70, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette previously reported.

A blood test showed that Benson had a blood alcohol content nearly four times the legal limit and had an inactive cocaine metabolite in his blood, according to a criminal complaint. Benson was also uncooperative with nurses when he was taken to a hospital for a blood test.

Benson was hopeful that his long tenure, and the fact this was his first offense, would be taken into account.
