Celebrity Justice
Shemar Moore Charged with DUI

Shemar MooreTMZ has learned that former "The Young and the Restless" star Shemar Moore has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence.

L.A. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo handed down the charges just moments ago, three weeks after a CHP officer claims he pulled Moore over after he noticed the actor speeding near Santa Monica Blvd.

As TMZ first reported, Moore allegedly, "displayed signs of alcohol impairment and a DUI investigation was conducted" according to a report taken after he was stopped on around 1:30 AM on June 1. Moore was then arrested and transported to a nearby station, where he a blew a .08 blood alcohol level on a breath test -- the legal limit in California.

Moore, who currently stars in "Criminal Minds," was released a few hours later on $5,000 bail. If convicted Moore faces six months in jail and a $1000 fine.

Shemar's next court hearing is June 26.

16. The odds are good he'll get the same deal Paris did at first, but I'd bet he goes to his class and doesn't drive on a suspended license........twice. He knows these two will throw a book at him.

17. It'll most likely be dropped to a negligent driving infraction with a small fine. That's what happened to mine years ago and I'm a nobody.

18. This really isn't that big of a deal, when Paris got charged with DUI at first then was brought down to "wreckless driving" What people dont seem to understand is that Paris is NOT in jail for a DUI she is in jail for breaking the terms of her probation. So, this guy could just as easily go and drive his car and then go back to the judge and get jail time (if thats the terms of probation) So the differance between the two is really slim.

20. Sick Sick Sick: We bathe in the glow of the Medias potrayal of just another sinner commiting just another sin. Anything to distract peoples attention from the personal sins we commit each and every day
