Paul Sigmund IV, 49, of San Francisco, was arrested Sunday morning for DWI and possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia after allegedly striking a pole in the Park Place parking lot and fleeing the scene. His 2012 Chevy Malibu sustained a pushed in left front fender.

Mr. Sigmund is the son of Princeton University scholar of political theory, Paul Sigmund, who died on April 27, and former Princeton Borough mayor Barbara Boggs Sigmund, who died in 1990.

He had also served as a Mercer County freeholder and chief of staff to ex-mayor of Trenton Tony Mack.

In addition to the other charges, the Lawrence Township Municipal Court had a warrant for Sigmund for $120. After posting bail, he was released on his own recognizance.
