On January 24th in 2025, Bohacek was stopped by police after a citizen reported him “drinking an open container and stumble out of his vehicle” in Michigan City. He refused a breathalyzer test, but a later blood sample showed his blood alcohol content was a .283%, which is more than 3½ times the legal limit to drive.[5] However, Bohacek was not arrested at the time of the stop due to legislative immunity where lawmakers are immune from arrest during legislative session in all cases except treason, felony, or breach of the peace per the Indiana constitution.[6] Currently, three charges relating to driving under the influence are pending against Bohacek.[7]
