Staying Put

(Fox News) - A Wisconsin lawmaker says he will not step down after being arrested on charges of drunken driving and marijuana possession. A truck driver spotted Jeffrey Wood's swerving vehicle on an interstate highway early Friday and called police.

Wood's car eventually went airborne and smashed into a caution sign and a snow bank. Authorities found marijuana in wood's vehicle and his blood-alcohol content was nearly twice the legal limit. Wood is a former Republican who was re-elected this year as an Independent. He explained in an interview with WAYY Radio station that the drugs ended up in his car because "somebody offered me some and I took it, and for whatever stupid reason got in my car and decided to drive home."
