Actor Mickey Rourke Charged with DUI in Florida with a BAC of .081%
Actor Mickey Rourke was arrested November 8th in Miami Beach for drunk driving while on his scooter after he failed a field sobriety test and his BAC was slightly over the legal limit.
Mickey Rourke was charged with suspicion of Florida DUI while riding a scooter. Rourke reportedly left a nightclub with a female companion shortly after 4:00 am, jumped on his 2007 Vespa and proceeded to make an illegal u-turn at a red light right in front of the police.
Miami Beach police say Rourke then drove erratically, weaving between lanes and down the center of the roadway. After being stopped the 51-year old actor asked, “What the (expletive) did I do?”
After detecting a strong odor of alcohol, the police initiated a field sobriety test which Rouke failed. A breath test registered a BAC of .081, slightly over the legal limit in Florida. Despite protesting “I'm not drunk. I didn't even drink that much”, Rourke was booked at the Miami Dade County jail.
Rourke, who described himself as self-employed on the police report, maintains a house in Miami Beach. He has appeared in movies such as Angel Heart, Barfly, 9-1/2 Weeks and Sin City.
