Wogen arrested for DUI
By DAILY CHRONICLE

DeKALB – Former 3rd Ward DeKalb Alderman Victor Wogen was arrested early Sunday morning for driving under the influence.

Wogen also was arrested for texting while driving, according to a DeKalb Police report.

Police received a call shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday that a driver had crashed into a light pole in the 1100 block of West Lincoln Highway, which is where the street intersects with Annie Glidden Road.

They located the vehicle, a 2004 Honda Element being driven by Wogen, near the intersection of Deerpath Lane and Knolls Avenue, according to the police report.

Wogen admitted to police that he was sending a text message when he struck a median sign and light pole at the nearby intersection. He then failed field sobriety tests.

He was charged with driving under the influence, driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol content greater than 0.08, texting while driving and improper lane use.

I am very sorry to see this, and I hope that he is going to get some help NOW.

We are all lucky he did not hurt anyone.

Yes, that guy needs to go get help.

Can a SOCIOPATH get help?

Urban Dictionary Definition:

A sociopath is often well liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments.

Sound like anyone we know?

I was a fan of Wogen watch and it served an important role in his removal from office. He's done and now he's just imploding. We need to let him go in peace. Time to retire the blog unless he runs again. Anything else doesn't serve a purpose except to further add humiliation to what he's doing to himself.

I partialy agree with you as far as his personal life but his actions as to private gain while being a public servant and of those who enabled him is something that shouldn't be swept under the rug.
In addition, what about charges of leaving the scene of an accident and the damages to public property? Possible suspended license for non payment of IPass fines and no insurance?

Wonder if the "leave him in peace" crowd is complaining to the Chroncle. Didn't think so.

Yes, ALL those things probably, PLUS having what an imperfect human bean he is appropriately plastered everywhere.

Now somebody get him some help, I'd say the same thing for some of you rock throwers.

Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo. Ghost of Dekalb. The man has brought all of this on himself, with the help of those who thought he should of run for office.This put him in the lime light. He honestly does not believe he has done anything wrong. Both in his public & personal life. You can not help someone who doesn't feel they need help even when it is posted in the papers & radio. It is always someone elses fault. THE ONE(s)who need the "Help" is his family. The wife & 2 daughters who are left holding the bag of his "problems". If he would own up to his mistakes then there would not be a need for this site. But no matter what happens in his pathetic life..."It's not his Fault" poor baby...he is so misunderstood. How do you help that??
