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.

16. If you think this is bad, you should see the record on his younger brother.....showing his junk in public. A DUI is sad mostly for his parents and family, but he is far from the worst....

18. Getting a DUI is a horrible thing. The thought you could have hurt someone is worse. But trust me the fees, court cost, classes you have to take and losing your license will make you think twice before driving drunk again. Or it should the people that keep doing it have a serious problem.

25. Do you folks realize that an officer can arrest you if you just have an "intention" to drive? You dont' have to be driving, just have your keys within 500 feet of the vehicle..... you can be standing outside of your car, or calling someone to pick you up, and the pig can arrest you because he is pissed at the world and had a bad night with his wife. So, stop judging, and realize that most of you morons have been over the limit at one time or another, but just haven't gotten caught!

27. WHAT A JERK, OBVIOUSLY THIS ASS, NAYSAY THAT IS SOME HOW SAYING IT IS NOT ANYONE'S BUSINESS IS AS BIG A JERK AS DOUG MAYBE IF HE HAD SOMEONE IN HIS FAMILY THAT WAS KILLED OR INJURED BY A DRUNK DRIVER HE WOULD HAVE MORE UNDERSTANDING AND MORE BRAINS. HOWEVER, I DOUBT IT HE SOUNDS LIKE A REAL LOW CLASS JERK. THEY SHOULD FIRE DOUGH, OBVIOUSLY HE IS CERTAINLY A ROLL MODEL FOR ANYTHING.

29. Maybe, just maybe we are all human.I believe that just because this man is a star people are making a big deal out of the situation. It is never good to drink and drive,but I am sure that everyone in the world has had a family member or friend that has got a DUI.Hopefully this man has learned his lesson just like most human beings that have gotten a DUI.Just because he is a star does not mean he should not mess up. We all do.Does being a star make him better than us?I think not.People need to remember that stars are humans too.They have a Mom and a Dad just like we do.They have siblings,friends,aunts,uncles,sons,daughters,etc! I believe if I were a star it would be very upsetting to have my whole life public.Just remember that noone is perfect,and that we are all equal in Gods eyes!

30. ppl make mistakes, housewives from pa make mistakes, designers from il make mistakes. it doesn't mean he is some god awful person, it means he screwed up. can it affect other ppl? yes, in terrible ways. but he didn't. alcohol affects different ppl in different ways. leave him alone and get on with ur sorry life!!!
