A criminal complaint says a Wisconsin lawmaker backed up his car on a highway and nearly struck another vehicle before he was arrested Wednesday for driving under the influence.
Rep. Jeffrey Wood told officers who pulled him over in Tomah he had taken one or two anti-depression pills. Police found four bottles of prescription drugs in Wood's possession.
Wood stumbled and fell to the ground during a sobriety test.
He was charged with third-offense operating while under the influence of an intoxicant and misdemeanor bail jumping.
Gov. Jim Doyle says Wood should resign from office.
Doyle said Thursday that the cleanest way to deal with the problem would be for Wood to resign.
Doyle says Wood should step aside to focus on his legal and personal problems.
