Wisconsin Legislator Falls During Sobriety Check in Third Arrest for DUI in One Year

Rep. Jeffrey Wood has achieved a degree of unwanted national fame after being shown in a police dashcam falling down during a sobriety test. From both a legal and political standpoint, falling down is never good during such tests. It does not make it better when this is Wood’s third arrest in less than a year on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The video below shows Wood pulled over in his Buick Skylark and asked to walk a straight line. He proceeds to stumble backward into his car before falling down into some grass.

He was charged last week with third-offense operating under the influence of an intoxicant and bail jumping.

Not surprisingly, Wood has announced that he will forego running for reelection.

Here is the video.

This is not his first appearance on a dashcam/youtube performance:
