Rey Mauauluga, a former star linebacker at the University of Southern California, was charged with reckless driving and a DUI recently in Kentucky.

It was reported that he caused an accident when he drove into two parked cars and a parking meter.  This same report is indicating that he blew almost double the legal limit for Kentucky.  His BAC was alleged to be .157.

According to the arresting officer, Mauauluga stated that he had “drank about six Captain and Coke drinks.”  Under Washington DUI law, if your BAC is above a .15, you are subject to increased minimum mandatory drunk driving penalties.

Adrian Pasdar, one of the stars of the television series “Heroes” was arrested early this morning for a DUI on a Los Angeles freeway.  He was reported to be swerving and speeding.  He was also allegedly clocked driving over 90 mph on the 405 freeway.

The police reported stated that when law enforcement approached his vehicle, they smelled alcohol.  After failing some field sobriety tests, Pasdar was immediately arrested.

After posting bail of $15,000, Pasdar was released.  The high amount for the bail is due to the fact that he refused to take a breathalyzer test.

Pasdar is married to the lead singer of the group “the Dixie Chicks”, Natalie Maines. Neither star has commented on this event, as of yet.  In Washington State, refusing to submit to a breath test automatically puts your WA driving privileges at risk for a minimum of one year.

Ed Lauter, a well known character actor, caused a scene outside of the Chateau Marmont recently, when he was trying to drive home after a Golden Globes party.  He obviously had a bit too much to drink that evening, so a responsible security guard intervened and stopped him from getting behind the wheel.  The security guard instructed the star to take a cab home and Mr. Lauter was none to pleased with this idea.  After a verbal confrontation, Mr. Lauter then took a cab home.
