ROURKE ARRESTED FOR DUI
Actor MICKEY ROURKE was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Florida on Thursday morning (08Nov07).
The Sin City star - real name Philip Andre Rourke Jr. - had just left a Miami Beach nightclub with an unnamed woman at around 4am when he was busted for making an illegal turn on his Vespa scooter - right in front of a policeman.
A paparazzo who witnessed the incident tells TMZ.com, "They… crossed Washington Avenue to go to his scooter. They both got on it, and he did a U-turn to go north. He was pulled over within a block.
"The cop says to him: ‘You swerved right in front of me.’ And Mickey answered, ‘No, no, dude, I’m all right.’" According to the police report, Rourke’s eyes were bloodshot, his face flushed and his speech slurred as he told the officer: "What the f**k did I do?!" before saying, "I’m not drunk, I didn’t even drink that much." The 51-year-old was booked into the Miami-Dade Pre-trial Detention Center at 9.30am local time and is being held on $1,000 (£500) bond.
