Video and audio from Westmont Police Department dashcam showing a 3:54 a.m. traffic stop and arrest of Chris Chelios obtained by Daily Herald.

Former Chicago Blackhawks star Chris Chelios was arrested early December 28, 2009 and charged with speeding and DUI, Westmont police said. But the defense attorney for Chris Chelios says that the video of the traffic stop and sobriety tests shows that Chelios was not impaired.

According to police, Chelios, now playing for the Chicago Wolves, was driving at a high speed in a pickup truck east on Ogden Avenue in the area of Blackhawk Drive in Westmont when he was stopped. He also crossed a center line a couple of times, according to police.

“Can’t you just let me go home, please? I’m safe. I’m not a danger,” Chelios asked on the video. The Westmont officer refused.

Chelios declined to take a breath test.

Chelios was then taken to the Westmont Police Department Headquarters, where he was charged and later released on bond.

On Wednesday February 10, 2010 Judge Cary Pierce ruled after viewing a 15-minute police videotape showing the Dec. 28 traffic stop and sobriety tests that Westmont police lacked probable cause to arrest Chelios following the December 28 traffic stop.

Next step is for the defense to ask the charges be dropped. That request is likely to be granted, according to the defense attorney handling the defense.

Raw video: Dashcam catches Wisconsin state lawmaker Jeffrey Wood tumbling to ground during sobriety test in Tomah, Wisconsin.

Police squad car video on a traffic stop at Interstate 39 north of Highway NN in Rib Mountain shows Wisconsin lawmaker Rep. Jeffrey Wood falling down during a sobriety test that led to his third arrest in less than a year on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The video, which was released Tuesday October 27, 2009 by Tomah police, shows Rep. Jeffrey Wood getting pulled over after police saw a Buick Skylark stop in the middle of a road and then slowly swerve across both lanes of traffic — probable cause for DUI.

Wisconsin State Patrol troopers found Wood 6:39 p.m. Wednesday September 23, 2009 after they were notified that a motorist was driving recklessly in Portage County. A witness following the vehicle told authorities she saw the car hit a curb and almost crash into another vehicle.

After the traffic stop and during a field sobriety test, Wood was asked to walk a straight line. Wood stumbled backward into the trunk of his car before falling down to the ground. A Tomah police officer helped him up, and put Wood in handcuffs.

Police also seized bottles of prescription drugs from Wood. He was charged last week with a third offense of operating under the influence of an intoxicant, and bail jumping.

In 2008 Wood was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. His BAC was more than double the legal limit following an accident in which his car reportedly became airborne. Marijuana was found in Wood’s vehicle after the accident.

The Wisconsin jurisdiction uses the term OWI — Operating while intoxicated.
