Designer Doug Wilson of TLC’s Trading Spaces was arrested Tuesday night in Illinois on DUI charges.
According to a spokeswoman for the Decatur County Jail, Wilson was pulled over at approximately 1 a.m. after he failed to yield to a police vehicle, which had its lights and sirens wailing.
The cops took the interior designer into custody and charged him with all sorts of infractions: aggravated DUI, driving on a suspended license, failing to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle and unlawful transportation of alcohol. He was booked into Decatur County Jail and released on $1,000 bond a few hours later.

Meanwhile, over in Scottsdale, Arizona former NBA super-star Charles Barkley was also arrested for driving under the influence.
Officers who pulled him over then took him to a nearby mobile command post for a blood test after he declined to give a breath test, according to police.
Barkley was issued a citation for driving while impaired and released pending the results, which normally takes about a week.
“He was very nice and professional,” police Lt. Eric Shuhandler said, adding the entire arrest process took place without incident, and Barkley was civil and cooperative throughout. He left in a cab.
“There was nothing unusual about how he was taken into custody,” Shuhandler said. “He was treated exactly like we treat anybody else.”

I am totally disgusted by the news I just reported. What is wrong with these guys?? They are grown men and should know better than to drink and drive or speed like an idiotic teenager. Seriously, WTF?
