Speaking during a press conference Wednesday morning, Rep. Dane Eagle said he does not have an alcohol problem, reports Heather Wysocki of the News-Press.com.

Eagle said he had drinks early during the day but not at night before he was arrested on DUI charges by Tallahassee police.

He told reporters he disagrees with the police view of sobriety and is not guilty of driving under the influence. He did admit to driving recklessly.

Eagle says he won’t resign and will continue his re-election bid.
