Highlights:
-Specifies that Rep. Wood was charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant, operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration (PAC), possession of tetrahydrocannibinols (THC), and possession of drug paraphernalia, all stemming from an arrest that occurred on December 12, 2008. -Specifies that, with respect to the aforementioned charges, Rep. Wood plead no contest to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant and possession of drug paraphernalia, and the court dismissed the charges of operating a motor vehicle with a PAC and possession of THC. -Specifies that, with respect to the aforementioned charges, Rep.

Wood was charged with operating a vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance, stemming from an arrest that occurred on September 23, 2009. -Specifies that, with respect to the aforementioned charge, Rep.

Wood, which alleges the following:
    -Rep. Wood's conduct "jeopardized his life and the lives of innocent citizens, does not reflect the norms or behavior expected of a member of the Assembly and, therefore, has brought disrepute on the Wisconsin State Assembly by damaging the institution's integrity with the public"; and -Rep. Wood's attempts to "deal with his addiction were not successful in preventing the dangerous incidents cited in this resolution."
