Connor Wood from Dancing With the Stars was arrested for DUI in 2024, records show
'Driving drunk is a CHOICE'
Dancing With the Stars celeb Connor Wood, whose legal name is Connor Wood Masich, was charged with a DUI over an incident in Venice, California, in August 2024. These arrest records have recently resurfaced online, following his appearance on DWTS.
At the time, he was 31 years old and was eventually charged with two misdemeanours: driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 per cent or higher.
He was represented by Jacqueline Sparagna, who’s a criminal defence and health care lawyer. According to her bio, “[She] is a skilled criminal defense attorney who works hard to protect her clients’ rights. She focuses on resolving legal issues early whenever possible, but she is fully prepared to go to trial when needed.”
According to records, his case had an arraignment on March 19, 2025, and a pretrial hearing on April 17, 2025. On April 25, 2025, he pleaded no contest to driving under the influence of alcohol and was convicted, while the second charge was dismissed. He was sentenced to three years of summary probation, which is still in effect, and ordered to pay fines and attend a MADD Victim Impact Program and a licensed DUI programme.
Connor’s DUI reaction is odd. “It was a mistake” “at least he didn’t kill anyone”? Fans can choose not to vote for him anymore without being called a hater. Many have lost loved ones because of DUIS. A spilled drink is a mistake, driving drunk is a CHOICE. This is personal. #dwts

Viewers online have been talking about the resurfaced charges, with one X user writing: “Many have lost loved ones because of DUIS. A spilled drink is a mistake, driving drunk is a CHOICE. This is personal.”
“The goofiest thing about the Connor Wood DUI thing is that it’s recent enough he did it with a fully developed brain like lmao that’s not a kid making a mistake he’s a grown f***ing man,” another X user added.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately one person dies every 44 minutes in the United States from drunk-driving crashes. So, viewers are taking Connor’s DUI arrest as a serious disappointment.
