Michigan state Rep. Jewell Jones was charged with a DUI, resisting arrest, and weapons charges earlier this month. But newly released dashcam footage shows Jones, a Democrat, being arrested after he allegedly drunkenly crashed his vehicle and arguing with police.

Jones allegedly taunted the officers who were arresting him on Interstate 96 in Fowlerville, which is about 65 miles outside of Detroit. Officers said they found the lawmaker’s SUV with the vanity plate “ELECTED” in a ditch.
