Embattled state Rep. Jeff Wood, I-Chippewa Falls, will face felony charges for his fifth OWI and a misdemeanor for jumping bail, according to court records.
The charges are in regard to his third offense of 2009 when Wood was caught driving while intoxicated in Tomah, Wis., in October of that year.
Wood engaged in similar offenses in January and September of that same year, the latter of which resulted in Wood being charged with operating a vehicle with a controlled substance and receiving 60 days in jail and two year's probation.
The state Assembly's lone Independent narrowly escaped expulsion from the legislature last year, and instead received a censure.
Part of the reason Wood was not expelled was because he already agreed not to run for re-election.
According to the court records, Wood currently has no defense attorney for this case.
