Bexar County Precinct 3 Commissioner Kevin Wolff was arrested early Sunday morning on a charge of driving while intoxicated.

San Antonio police were called to the Whataburger at 10111 San Pedro after reports of an accident. A witness at the scene said Wolff had rear ended two vehicles in the drive-through, according to a San Antonio Police Department release.

The officer who stopped Wolff found he appeared intoxicated, and after failing the field sobriety test was placed under arrest at around 3 a.m. Wolff refused a breath test and officers obtained a warrant for a blood sample.

Wolff spoke with reporters Sunday morning and said officers "didn't even ask" him to take a breathalyzer, saying he was on blood pressure medicine.

"I don't know whether it was that, or the lateness of the night or other circumstances that may have led to this, but we'll see what happens," Wolff said.

When asked if he had anything to drink earlier in the evening, Wolff said, "Oh yeah, sure."

The only Republican commissioner on the court, Wolff's biography said he was first elected to public office in 2005. He is a Navy veteran and served in the Navy Reserve. His bio described him as "Bexar County's strongest voice for fiscal conservativism and strong Republican principles."

In the March Republican primary election, Wolff defeated challengers Mike Koerner and Pamela Lill. Wolff, the lone Republican on the five-member Bexar County Commissioners Court, faces a Democratic challenger, Brandon J. Johnson, in November.

Wolff was reelected in 2012 without opposition.
