His wife called police to report they'd had a fight, which had been physical at some point, and that he was driving away and she thought he'd been drinking. Responding officers found him driving slightly over the speed limit, pulled him over, and found he smelled strongly of alcohol. He was barely under the limit. And he'd just left from home, but explained the alcohol level by saying he'd had sake at a restaurant earlier. Unless somebody else drove him home from the restaurant, he'd been driving much drunker before the time he got pulled over.
I'm on the side of truth, and against drunk driving and wife-beating. Obviously there's a he-said-she-said aspect to this story, but I'm pretty sure the part about his wife initiating the police involvement is accurate since it's easily verified (assuming she called 911). I haven't seen any evidence that he was treated unjustly, by either law enforcement or any remotely professional media outlet.
Anybody is free to walk 3 miles home from a restaurant, legend or not. But in this case it suggests that there's "more to the story". That's quite a long walk, and it sounds like he and his wife couldn't handle being in the same vehicle. He should suck it up and quit whining. Nobody has done him wrong. He did drink and drive, he was going over the speed limit, and his wife did call police on him because she correctly believed he'd been drinking. Unless police got to him within a couple of minutes of her call, he had to have been over the legal limit and driving, when she called.
He seems to be trying to claim that he was unfairly arrested because of a "countywide dragnet" aimed at increasing the number of DWI arrests in the county. But responding a woman who calls to say that she'd been having a fight with her husband and he just drove off and had been drinking, has nothing to do with a "dragnet."

CNN reported that he walked 3 miles home from the restaurant.
And he blew a .079, the legal limit is .08, thats pretty freaking impressive if you ask me.
Hadn't read the walking home part. That's . . . odd. Can't he afford a cab/Uber/Lyft?
Alex Jones is a legend and if he wants to walk down a highway for 3 miles somewhere in Texas that's his business
