TMZ has learned Nick Nolte's son was arrested for suspicion of DUI and possession of a controlled substance yesterday in Santa Monica.
Law enforcement sources tell us Brawley King Nolte -- who starred as the kidnapped kid in "Ransom" back in the day -- struck another vehicle while making a lane change yesterday afternoon.
When cops arrived, we're told the 23-year-old showed signs of impairment, so cops conducted field sobriety tests and eventually arrested him. Nolte's bail was set at $5,000.
Nick was arrested for DUI back in 2002 -- you may remember his infamous mugshot....

Gabe Pruitt was arrested this morning for suspicion of DUI.
Pruitt, a member of the Boston Celtics, was pulled over around 3:15 AM in the Hollywood area. Sources tell TMZ Pruitt failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol level well over the legal limit.
He was taken to a local jail and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. His bail was $5,000.
Pruitt, who went to college at USC in Los Angeles, scored three points last night in the Celtics' 93-91 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Hope they've got XXXXL jumpsuits in AZ, 'cause Charles Barkley is officially going to jail.
Barkley just pled guilty to 2 counts of driving under the influence and pleaded "responsible" to running a stop sign for the December 31 incident in Scottsdale.
Barkley was sentenced to 10 days in jail -- but will only do five if he completes an alcohol education program. Barkley was also fined $2,000.
Barkley will begin his sentence on March 21 -- but it's unclear if he will serve time in Arizona's famed Tent City Jail, where they make the inmates wear pink.
As for the gun cops say they found in Barkley's car on the night of the arrest -- no charges were ever filed.

Gary Collins has been charged with two counts of DUI for allegedly driving a motor home drunk January 31.
We're told 70-year-old Collins blew an unbelievable .29 ... nearly four times the legal limit.
Collins was busted near Santa Barbara after driving erratically.
Collins was charged by the Santa Barbara County D.A. with DUI and driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher. Collins has a prior DUI for which he served jail time.
BTW, according to a drinking chart, Collins would have to down 10 - 12 drinks in an hour to register .29.

TMZ has learned that "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan was busted for drunk driving early this morning in New York.
Police sources tell TMZ the comedian/actor was stopped at 4:38 AM in Manhattan after cops noticed he was driving erratically. According to the police report, Morgan "was unable to maintain a position in a lane of traffic."
Edison Alban, spokesperson for the Manhattan D.A.'s office, tells TMZ that Morgan told cops he was drinking beer at a club before he was pulled over.
Morgan was taken to the 33rd Precinct and charged with Driving While Intoxicated and Operating a Motor Vehicle While Impaired.
This is Morgan's second drunk driving arrest. He's currently on probation in Los Angeles for a D.U.I. conviction. The latest arrest could constitute a violation of Morgan's probation and, as a result, he could face jail time in both L.A. and New York.
Morgan's rep was not immediately available for comment.
