RAW STORY
Georgia state House Rep. Chuck Sims (R-Amrbose) was arrested last
week and charged with Driving Under the Influence, his second such
arrest in the last three years. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday that Sims was arrested and taken into custody shortly before midnight on April 2.
An officer in Coffee County reportedly observed a motorist driving
erratically who then accelerated, plowing their vehicle into into the
highway shoulder. Sims was arrested and booked into the Coffee County
Jail in Douglas, Georgia, then released on $1,487 bond.
In a statement, Sims said, “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. I am confident that as facts of this situation
are revealed, the interests of justice will be served.”
Sims was arrested for DUI in 2010 by Atlanta police. He is among the state lawmakers who voted in favor of House Bill 861, which mandated drug testing for all Georgians seeking public assistance funding.
