TOMAH — A squad car video released Tuesday shows a Wisconsin lawmaker falling over during a sobriety test before he is arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription drugs.
The video released by Tomah Police shows Rep. Jeffrey Wood getting pulled over after officers see his Buick Skylark stopped in the middle of a road, and then slowly swerving across both lanes of traffic.
During a sobriety test in which Wood is asked to walk a straight line, he stumbles backward into the back of his car before falling down into grass. An officer helps him up, and Wood is put in handcuffs a short time later without incident.
The video also shows police seizing bottles of prescription drugs that were on Wood during the arrest.
