Running into a bit of a legal dilemma, "Partridge Family" actor David Cassidy has been nabbed for Driving Under the Influence in St. Lucie County, FL. The former child star was released from a jail in Florida early Thursday morning (November 4) after being picked up by Florida Highway Patrol the previous night.
Cassidy was officially charged with DUI, failure to maintain a single lane and possession of an open container of alcohol in his car. The 60-year-old is said to have had a half-full bottle of Bourbon in his Mercedes sports car while blowing breathalyzer totals of 0.139 and 0.141.
Always a little troubled, David never handled his early celebrity well. Being a teen idol is not all it's cracked up to be. When that phase of his life ended he could never seem to get his career up and running again. He has had a running battle with substance abuse for years and it's a shame he still hasn't got a handle on life. If you haven't sorted your life out by sixty, it's not likely that you ever will.
