A Georgia state lawmaker who supported legislation to drug test welfare recipients was arrested last week, suspected of driving under the influence, Raw Story reports.
Georgia state House Rep. Chuck Sims (R-Ambrose) was pulled over in Coffee County, Ga., on April 2 after being spotted driving erratically by a police officer, the Douglas Enterprise reported. Sims also was cited for DUI in 2010; that DUI charge was later dismissed and he pleaded guilty to reckless driving, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“Just as I do not intend to seek any special treatment, I hope that I am not unfairly pre-judged based on rumor and speculation,” Sims said in a statement after being released on bond, the AJC reported. “I am confident that as facts of this situation are revealed, the interests of justice will be served.”
