David Cassidy drunk driving arrest
Former star of “The Partridge Family” TV series and teen idol David Cassidy had been just lately arrested. He was pulled over and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. A Florida Highway Patrol officer pulled him over, according to CBS, for allegedly swerving through the lanes. He was asked to take a sobriety test. He failed it though. He had to take two Breathalyzer tests also. 0.139 and 0.141 were the blood alcohol he had according to the tests. The arresting officer within the David Cassidy DUI also found a half empty bottle of bourbon in the Mercedes he was driving. He’s certainly no Paris Hilton, but the evidence doesn’t seem to lean Cassidy’s way.
Cassidy had a glass of wine only
Cassidy said that he had one glass of wine with his midday meal when at a funeral. He said that after that he took some hydrocodone though. Cassidy insisted that he had not drank anything else alcoholic besides the glass of wine between lunch and his arrest late Wednesday evening. He had been able to pay bail in order to be released. November 4 he went home after paying $350. After being Keith Partridge in "The Partridge Family" series, Cassidy was a teen pop star well known. "Partridge Family" co-star Danny Bonaduce had some issues with alcohol along with other child stars.
Saying he will fight it in court
David Cassidy intends to fight the charges, according to his representatives. Numerous child stars have substance abuse issues. If convicted, he wouldn't be the first.
