Doug Wilson only wishes he could trade spaces about now.
The resident bad boy of the TLC redecorating hit show spent a night behind bars after he was arrested early Tuesday morning for driving under the influence in his home state of Illinois.
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.
Wilson graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and then moved to New York, where he eventually landed gigs on TLC's Trading Spaces, America's Ugliest Rooms and Moving Up.
