Mickey Rourke arrested for DUI

Actor Mickey Rourke was arrested for driving under the influence while riding a Vespa scooter erratically in Miami Beach on Thursday.

"Mickey Rourke was arrested fro DUI at 4 a.m. this morning while riding a green Vespa," Sgt. Bobby Hernandez of the Miami Beach police department tells. "He made a U-turn on a red light. We stopped him and gave him a classic road sobriety test. He failed so we brought him in. He blew a .081, which was over the limit, and was locked up for 24 hours at the Miami Dade County jail."

He was being held on $1,000 bond, but was in the process of posting the bond.

"I'm not drunk, I didn't even drink that much," the report quoted Rourke as saying.


Rourke allegedly failed field-sobriety tests before being taken to headquarters. He also failed an alcohol breath test, police said.

According to criminal records obtained by the Post, in January 1994 Rourke was arrested and charged with resisting arrest.

Rourke's rep didn’t immediately return a call for comment.
