A billboard in Youngsville is calling for the resignation of State Auditor Beth Wood, who faces a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge after crashing her government-owned Camry into a parked car in December.

The billboard, which appears to be an LED billboard that rotates through ads, can be seen on U.S. Highway going northbound, just past the U.S. 1/Highway 96 intersection.

The billboard reads, "In a hit in run and need help? Call 1-800-resign."

This comes after news of Wood being charged with a misdemeanor count of hit-and-run following a Dec. 8 crash involving her "state-owned vehicle."
