William Stewart Sedgwick IV, who was arrested early Wednesday morning for driving under the influence of alcohol, resigned his position as Student Government Finance and Fees cabinet secretary Thursday.
Student Body President Jordan Johnson said Sedgwick handed in a formal letter of resignation and an apology.
"I obviously have taken a major stance about how I feel about drinking and driving," Johnson said. "The group of people who work alongside me are the first people in line that are supposed to further my agenda."
Johnson said Sedgwick's decision did not only reflect poorly on SG but on the UF Student Body as a whole.
"Any time a Gator makes a mistake, it looks bad for all of us," he said.
Applications to fill Sedgwick's position are available today on the third floor of the Reitz Union.
The applications are due Sept. 25.
