David Cassidy charged with DUI

(CNN) -- Former teen idol David Cassidy faces a drunken driving charge after a Florida Highway Patrol officer stopped him on a Fort Pierce, Florida, highway Wednesday night.

Cassidy, 60, failed roadside sobriety tests and registered at .14 on an alcohol breath test, according to the arrest report. A reading of .08 or higher is illegal for drivers in Florida.

The singer-actor "appeared to be somewhat confused" and was "very apologetic for having to be stopped," the arresting officer said.

Police found a half-empty bottle of bourbon under the seat of Cassidy's Mercedes, although he told the officer he had only consumed a glass of wine with lunch several hours earlier, the report said.

He told the officer he took a hydrocodone pill -- a pain medication also known as Vicodin -- about three hours earlier.

3. Where's Reuben Kincaid when you need him?

[MrScorpio]

4. The man hasn't seen his teens in forty-two years...

And still, he's stuck with that "former teen idol" label.

No wonder he's living in Florida, American's Prescription Drug Paradise, and kicking it back with the booze.

9. Indeed!

That can't be a load of fun... career killer.

6. I guess he can't affor Hirsch Reserve, anymore.

I read earlier he was drinking Woodward Reserve.

If he drank enough Elmer T Lee, he could probably cover his court costs.

Better whiskey at 2/3 the $.

7. Oh, noes....a has-been celebrity with a DUI.

Shocking, I tell you. I've never heard of such a thing. It's certainly newsworthy, since such things simply happen so rarely. :sarcasm:

12. He looks sad and resigned to his fate.

Happiness has eluded him.

Don't ya think?

Great mug shot. A photograph tells a lot.

Anyone else agree after looking at this?

13. Yeah, but mixing hydrocodone and alcohol is just asking for death.

If the combination doesn't get you killed by your own stupidity, the damage to your liver will take care of it before long. That's just fucking stupid.
