DUI

Mick Brown -- the guy who bangs drums for Ted Nugent -- learned the hard way ... golf carts do not make good getaway vehicles, especially when drunk -- and now he has the DUI charge to prove it.

It all went down at the Waterfront Pavilion in Maine on Sunday night ... the Bangor PD says the drummer hijacked a golf cart from backstage after the show and went on a booze-filled drive session through the nearby town.

Cops tried to put an end to the drunken joyride ASAP ... but according to police, Brown was having none of it and led them on a slow-speed chase ... allegedly shoving a cop off his cart at one point to continue his get-away.

In the end, cops say it took two different officers to finally tackle the 55-year-old from the g-cart and slap some cuffs on him.

Brown was then hauled off to Penobscot County Jail -- where he was charged with Operating Under the Influence, Driving to Endanger, theft and assault.

The lead singer of the punk band Amen was arrested for DUI in L.A. last night after he allegedly smashed his SUV into as many as 15 parked cars.

TMZ has learned ... 46-year-old Casey Chaos -- real name Karim Chmielinski -- was popped in Studio City, CA around 12:50 AM after cops say he ran a drunken demolition derby through a residential street.

Police say ... Chaos -- abandoned his car at the scene of the destruction ... but was quickly discovered at his nearby home, where he was arrested for DUI.

Sources tell us ... Casey's blood alcohol level was just above .08, the legal limit in California.

"16 & Pregnant" baby daddy Weston Gosa -- father of Whitney Purvis' kid -- was arrested for DUI in Georgia yesterday ... after allegedly crashing his car ... but the real reason we're posting this story ... dude's mug shot is legendary.

According to the Floyd County Police Department, 23-year-old Gosa smashed his car, and was placed under arrest when cops decided he had been driving under the influence. Police say Gosa was under the influence of prescription drugs at the time of his arrest.

Police also say Gosa was in possession of Xanax and Lorcet without a prescription, as well as a pipe with some kind of residue in it.

Gosa has been charged with felony possession of controlled substances, misdemeanor possession of drug-related objects, and DUI.

He's still in custody. He may or may not be aware of this.

U.S Commerce Secretary John Bryson won't face charges after allegedly crashing into two cars in L.A. last month ... and fleeing the scene -- because the D.A. has rejected his hit-and-run case.

As we previously reported, Bryson was found unconscious in his Lexus after allegedly smashing his Lexus into two cars -- miles apart from each other.

According to the D.A.'s charge evaluation sheet, doctors believe Bryson suffered his seizure following the first accident -- and the disorienting experience caused accident #2.

The D.A. says Bryson's blood tested negative for alcohol and controlled substances, but positive for a low level of Ambien -- too low for a DUI charge.

Bryson had been cited for hit-and-run after he was taken to a nearby hospital following the accidents -- but today, the D.A. rejected the case due to insufficient evidence ... both for hit-and-run and DUI.

MAKE IT STOP -- barely a month after "That's So Raven" star Orlando Brown was arrested on an outstanding warrant, stemming from his 2011 DUI case ... another arrest warrant has been issued for the actor.

TMZ broke the story ... 24-year-old Brown was arrested in late May after a judge issued bench warrant #1. The warrant was issued because Brown had failed to show proof he had enrolled in an alcohol education class, a requirement of his 2011 DUI sentence.

Now it's deja vu all over again -- because last Friday, Brown was due back in L.A. court to finally prove he had enrolled in the program, but he didn't show up.

If Matthew Fox doesn't look drunk in his DUI mug shot ... it's because it was taken TWO MONTHS after he was arrested.

TMZ has learned ... Fox returned to the Deschutes County Adult Jail in Bend, Oregon on June 29th to finally take the mug shot from his May 4th arrest ... and TMZ has the pic.

So why did it take so long for cops to get the shot? Turns out, the camera at the jail was BROKEN on the night Fox was arrested ... so the judge made the former "Lost" star come back for a makeup photo.

As we previously reported, Fox struck a plea deal with prosecutors so he wouldn't have to serve any time in jail -- and in exchange he pled no contest to one count of DUI.

As part of the deal, Fox can't drink alcohol for one year and is required to complete a drug and alcohol treatment program.

If Fox complies with the court's orders, the entire case will go away.

Former Miss Arizona Teen USA Tori Vance -- who pled "not guilty" to DUI last week after her recent arrest -- is now admitting ... she DID have something to drink before cops busted her behind the wheel last month.

Tori was out shopping in L.A. yesterday with a beauty pageant buddy when she gave us the blow-by-blow -- saying, "I was coming from Rosa Mexicana. It was Cinco de Mayo. So I shouldn't have been driving. I know better."

Tori added, "I didn't even give it a thought and I had something to drink."

QUICK REMINDER -- TORI IS ONLY 18 YEARS OLD.

After leaving the restaurant, Tori said she pulled an illegal U-turn and -- just her luck -- a cop car was right behind her. The giant sombrero she was wearing at the time probably didn't help her case.

Porn legend Jenna Jameson has officially been charged with DUI -- drugs and alcohol -- after smashing her car into a light pole last month in Orange County.

TMZ broke the story ... Jameson was arrested after the single-car accident early in the morning on May 25th. We're told she showed signs of intoxication, took a field sobriety test, and was subsequently busted on suspicion of DUI.

According to law enforcement, Jenna blew a .13 and had two prescription drugs in her system at the time of her arrest -- zolpidem (Ambien) and buprenorphine (Suboxone).

Jenna has been charged with two counts of DUI and one count of driving without a valid license.

Former Miss Arizona Teen USA Tori Vance insists ... she wasn't driving drunk before her May arrest -- pleading "not guilty" to DUI yesterday.

TMZ broke the story ... Vance was pulled over last month in Hollywood after flipping a bitch (making an illegal u-ey) -- and according to law enforcement, she showed signs of intoxication when cops approached her vehicle. Officers gave Vance a field sobriety test ... she bombed.

Vance was charged with two counts of DUI and faces up to six months in jail if convicted. And since she's underage, she could lose her license for a year too.

Last we spoke to Vance, she apologized for the incident, telling us, “I’m truly sorry as my conduct was wrong and not a reflection of who I really am." Safe to say ... she's probably trying to hammer out a plea deal with prosecutors.

Dennis Quaid pulled off something most people in Hollywood can't these days -- he was NOT busted for DUI yesterday after getting a field sobriety test ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Quaid was pulled over in Marina del Rey for a stop sign violation when the officers decided to conduct a DUI investigation.

We're told cops determined DQ was not under the influence of anything and sent him on his way ... without so much as a ticket for the stop sign thing.

Offensive lineman for the New York Giants David Diehl was busted last night on suspicion of drunk driving.

According to the NY Daily News, police arrested the football star at approximately 8:45 PM on Sunday in Queens after Diehl crashed his vehicle into a number of parked cars.

He was taken to a testing facility where, according to the D.A., his blood alcohol level registered at .182, which is over twice the legal limit. The legal limit in NY is .08.

Police sources tell TMZ Diehl was drinking at The Scorpio Cafe & Bar watching the Croatia-Ireland soccer game before his arrest.

Boxing champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. -- son of the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez -- won't be heading to jail after his January DUI arrest ... because he just struck a sweet plea deal with prosecutors.

As we first reported, Chavez was hit with 3 misdemeanor charges following his arrest in L.A. -- two for DUI and one for driving without a valid license.

Chavez pled "no contest" to one count of driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher. The other DUI count was dropped, as was the license charge.

Chavez was sentenced to 3 years probation and ordered to attend 30 AA meetings -- which he already did.

Deongelo Holmes -- one half of the rap duo Ying Yang Twins -- was arrested last week for marijuana possession and DUI.

According to the Gwinnett County Police report, when Holmes was busted on June 1 in Duluth, GA ... his eyes were "bloodshot and glazed" and his speech was "mumbled, slurred and slow." The report also states Holmes failed a field sobriety test, but was "cooperative and friendly" with officers.

Holmes was also booked for child endangerment ... because his two kids, ages 3 and 2 months, were in the car at the time.

The Ying Yang Twins are best known for their 2005 song, "Wait (The Whisper Song)."

Amanda Bynes insists she didn't drive under the influence back in April -- pleading "not guilty" today to DUI.

Amanda wasn't in court -- her lawyer entered the plea on her behalf.

TMZ broke the story ... Amanda was charged with one count of misdemeanor DUI yesterday -- and the D.A. has sought a sentencing enhancement because the actress refused to take either a breathalyzer or a blood test.

If convicted -- with the sentencing enhancement -- we're told Bynes faces a minimum of 48 hours in jail ... and a maximum of 6 months.

Because of jail overcrowding, it's unlikely Bynes will serve more than a few hours. A pretrial court date has been set for July 18th.

For her part, Amanda tweeted after she was charged yesterday, writing, "Hey @BarackObama... I don't drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me."

Amanda Bynes has officially been charged with DUI after her arrest back in April -- when she sideswiped a cop car and allegedly attempted to flee the scene.

Bynes has been charged with one count of misdemeanor DUI -- and the D.A. has sought a sentencing enhancement because the actress refused to take either a breathalyzer or a blood test.

Bynes has not been charged with hit-and-run.

If convicted -- with the sentencing enhancement -- we're told Bynes faces a minimum of 48 hours in jail ... and a maximum of 6 months.

But because of jail overcrowding, it's unlikely Bynes will ever serve longer than a few hours.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's 20-year-old daughter was arrested in NYC for allegedly drinking a beer in public -- and then flashing a fake ID to cops.

According to cops, Scout Willis was drinking an 8 oz. Pakistani beer in Union Square Monday night ... and when an officer approached her she produced an ID with the name Katherine Kelly.

After further questioning she 'fessed up her real name is Scout Willis and reportedly said, "The first ID isn't mine. My friend gave it to me."

Scout's bust was first reported by the NY Daily News.
