Councilman Zack Reed was picked up by Cleveland police at 2:11 a.m. Tuesday.

Officers stopped Reed when they saw his red BMW pull out of a parking spot on St. Clair Avenue between West 3rd and West 6th streets and go left of center over double yellow lines, WEWS reported.

Reed underwent a series of field sobriety tests, which officers said he failed.

While he was being handcuffed, he allegedly attempted to struggle with officers, but they were able to arrest him and take him to the city jail.

Reed has always been an outspoken member of Council representing Ward 3, WEWS reported.

Reed told NewsChannel5 that he has hired a lawyer and that he is prepared to fight to preserve his reputation at City Hall.

It's no secret that he had been talking about a run for mayor of Cleveland, and he's been a proponent of keeping city funding in the neighborhoods.

Reed is also chairman of the Public Safety Committee, pushing for tougher standards for city vendors such as neighborhood ice cream truck drivers.

Reed will appear in court Wednesday to face several charges against him.
