Rep. Jeffrey Wood, I-Chippewa Falls, Wis., Caught on Dashcam Being Arrested on 5th DUI Arrest, Falls During Sobriety Test

It is a dirty shame that Wisconsin's Rep. Jeffrey Wood, I-Chippewa Falls, was caught for a fifth time driving under the influence of alcohol. A video was released yesterday showing Wood getting pulled over after officers see his Buick Skylark stop in the middle of a road and then slowly swerve across both lanes of traffic.

When he was asked to walk a straight line, he stumbled backward into his car before falling down into some grass. An officer helped him up, and Wood is put in handcuffs a short time later. The video also shows police seizing bottles of prescription drugs from Wood.

He has apologized for his actions and says he won't seek re-election next year. He should be expelled from his position. He had been arrested on September 23, 2009, for a similar offense. This man needs to be put in rehab involuntarily if he refuses help.

The former Republican was also charged with bail jumping for violating the conditions of his original bond. This arrest marks Wood’s fifth for some form of operating while intoxicated. Why wasn't he incarcerated for a long time, since he is a repeat offender? There is no need for him to keep driving on the streets. The next time he gets behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol or prescription drugs could spell disaster and death. How many more chances is this man going to get before someone says enough is enough?
