David Cassidy found himself on the other side of the fence yesterday. The 60-year-old former teen idol was arrested in Florida on DUI charge when a Florida Highway Patrol trooper spotted his car going erratically on the turnpike Wednesday evening. He was released on a $350 bail but not before spending nine whole hours in the St. Lucie County jail.

People reports,

According to the arrest report, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper spotted Cassidy???s white Mercedes driving erratically on the turnpike at 6 p.m. Wednesday. The report states that he crossed the center divider line, then cut off another driver while attempting to merge onto an exit ramp. Police say they smelled alcohol on Cassidy???s breath, and he allegedly told them that he had a glass of wine at lunch and a hydrocodone tablet later in the afternoon.

The arrest report also says that Cassidy, a Ft. Lauderdale resident, was unsteady on his feet and failed several field sobriety tests. Officers said he later blew a .14 on a breath test, well above the legal limit in the state of Florida. Police say there was a half-full bottle of bourbon on the back seat of the vehicle.

Is it just me or this news actually sounds weird because there’s no Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears, or any of the younger breed, involved in a topic related to DUI?! Anyway, I hope David has learned his lesson that the divider line is the last place to show your driving skills when you are doing it under influence! All the best, David!
