WAUSAU, Wis. - Wisconsin Rep. Jeff Wood has been arrested again for suspected driving while intoxicated.

The State Patrol says the 40-year-old Independent from Bloomer was arrested about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday on Interstate 39 near Wausau after a report of a vehicle being driven recklessly in Portage County.

The agency says investigators found a prescription bottle of Lorazepam, an anxiety medication, with seven pills in it after stopping Wood's vehicle and noticing he looked sleepy. The prescription of 45 pills had been filled Tuesday.

A message left for Wood at the Capitol was not immediately returned. His attorney did not immediately return telephone messages.

Wood was charged with third-offense drunken driving and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia after he crashed into a highway sign in December in Columbia County.
