Celebrity Justice
"Trading Spaces" Star Nailed for DUI

Doug Wilson -- the guy on "Trading Spaces" who once redesigned someone's room into a prison cell -- was busted early this morning for DUI and sent to a cell of his very own.

Doug was pulled over at around 1 this morning by Decatur, Illinois police after failing to yield to an emergency vehicle -- which happened to be a squad car with its lights and siren blaring.

The cop ended up pulling Doug over -- and arresting him for aggravated DUI, driving on a suspended license, failing to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle and illegal transportation of alcohol.

Doug was jailed and released on $1,000 bond.

3. Doug is from central Illinois. He is probably home for the holidays and needed something extra to get through it!

4. jackass indeed. But one question, if the cop cas blaring lights and sirens, wasnt he supposed to be headed somewhere? Why did he turn around and go after someone for not yeilding? Its kinda twisted, do you continue on to an emergency, or get a man for a DUI. that you dont know for sure is a DUI?

6. Decatur IL? Isnt that near the capital of Illinois, Springfield, where that goofy Governor Blago appointed that guy to take Obamas place today?

Maybe he was in a hurry to get to the announcement and travels with open liquor wherever he goes. Well at least he has homies in the area to post his bond...

7. I know Decatur -- trust me on this one sports fans, if you were there you would be drunk too. But you have to be really drunk to get busted for a DUI there -- it's a real "shot & a beer" old blue-collar town. Notice he got busted for "Aggravated DUI" not your run of the mill drunk. Something tells me he was popping a few Vicodin with that booze -- soooooo Holly-weird!

8. If he's from that area no wonder he was drinking.
Let me guess, was he wearing black leather pants and blue oxford shirt?

9. Decatur is a decent place. Like any city it has nice parts and bad. Unless you are from some hick town then the whole town is bad!

10. Come on people. LOTS of people get DUI's. It's OBVIOUSLY not a good thing, but get over it.....

11. Why should we get over a DUI, it's a serious thing, just because a lot of people get them means it's ok. Maybe if you get run down you will understand. Shouldn't be driving while intoxicated anyway - it's against the law stuiped.

This guy is a jerk anyway, I watched is show for the first and last time all he spoke about was drinking and made stuiped comments to these weird people on the show. Who wants to see this. I hope he gets fired. Stay with the program!

12. I'm not saying DUI's are no big deal nor am I saying that it is okay to drink and drive. I am saying that a lot of people get them and just because he happens to be famous doesn't mean that it is any of our freaking business. If you think that you can judge someone by the way they are portrayed on tv than you are the idiot. The guy made a big huge dangerous mistake...it doesn't mean that he is the antichrist. By the way, the word is "stupid" not "stuiped"....stupid.

13. Hahaha. Since moving to Decatur from Florida this town has made me do nothing but laugh my ass off.

Dont blame him though, theres not much else to do here besides drink and inhale fumes from ADM.

14. Hello!! DUI AND a suspended license?? Another DUI in the history perhaps? No one has the right to drive under the influence on OUR roads putting US, our FAMILIES (including our CHILDREN and FRIENDS at risk. No one has the right to drive a weapon despite the legend THEY think they are in their own minds. I hope they throw the book at him. Get a grip @ss wipe.
